Second Toughest In The Infants Deluxe/Super Deluxe 2015

[stimpee]

What Andy said. I hate these covers. Box set will be amazing though.

[TheBang]

This looks really great, overall. I'm very excited.

Notable omissions from the remasters:

Telematic
Carp Dreams... Koi

And, I would really have liked to have gotten a digital version of long Rowla. I should probably voice these wishes earlier in the remaster process. Time to figure out requests now for Beaucoup Fish?

So, a full disc of unreleased material, that sounds great. I'm surprised that there's so much available; moreso than even the Dubno era.

And, I am also excited about the Nuxx evolution disc. I like following their process, like, for example, Phonestrap, or Cowgirl on the Dubno deluxe. We know from the Tramway gig that Nuxx went through a lot of changes, BUT we don't have any other recordings of it from 1994, so it'll be great to hear all those early versions as they worked it out on stage.

I do wish we had another disc with a full live show like the Dubno deluxe (and the fact that there are soundboard (?) recordings from those four early 94 gigs is tantalizing), but I'm pretty happy with what we're getting.

whew, checked again and all the sizes are available.

Pre-ordered the 4cd + shirt bundle and the vinyl, shipping came out to about $60 (while still expensive, it's not much more than just the super deluxe + shirt WITHOUT the vinyl)

Compared to last year, I ordered a similar set, while this is more expensive you do get a shirt (and 1 less cd) so it's not too bad

I don't plan on buying all the remasters of UW's albums and there were less UW b-sides/remixes released after the first two albums anyway so my pocket should be safe for the next few years

So I made a list of everything that was released in the STITI era that was NOT included on this release. As noted above, .Telematic, Carp Dreams....Koi, and the Extended Versions of Rowla and Confusion The Waitress weren't included

Anyway, here's the full list:

Banstyle (Alex Reece Mix) 05:39
Born Slippy .TELEMATIC 09:39
Born Slippy .NUXX (Short II) 03:45
Born Slippy .NUXX (Short I) 04:23
Born Slippy .NUXX (Darren Price Remix) 06:28
Born Slippy .NUXX (Darren Price Remix 2) 08:09
Confusion The Waitress (Remix) 07:32
Juanita (Promo Short Cut) 03:49
Pearl's Girl (Short Version) 03:50
Pearl's Girl (Radio Edit) 04:22
Pearl's Girl (Short) 04:25
Pearl's Girl (Tin There) (Edit Version) 05:00
Pearl's Girl (Tin There) (CDROM Version) 06:05
Pearl's Girl (Carp Dreams... Koi) 10:05
Rowla (Long Version) 08:40

I added them all up, and they total 91.51. If you took out the 2 Darren Price Remixes of .Nuxx (which are still available readily on the .Nuxx Maxi-Single release), they could have easily fit everything else onto another disc. While I do appreciate what was put on the 4CD release, it would have been nice (as one who's a completist) to have better copies of these tracks (not all of which I have, either).

*sighs* Oh, well, maybe we can get requests in for rare tracks off of BF that should get put on the Super Deluxe of that release (thinking of the Italian KoS CD in particular).

Cheers for this list. Any way to link out where to find these on discogs if they're not obvious?

Also did you make one for Dubno?

these boxset releases were never meant to be comprehensive,
so you'll have to put your own list together.

Thanks -1!

This really needs to be a time for Five Points to be released.

The track listing looks great (even if the orange box is a bit odd), but like other people here, I wish there was even more audio, going down from 5 discs in the Dubno box to 4 is a bit of a disappointment. I agree that adding a live set from this era would have been even better, as they were really stunning live at the time. I don't mind it not being a completist set with all the 7" edits, b-sides and slight variations but Carp Dreams Koi, Telematic, the long Rowla and the edit of Juanita would have been nice to have on CD as they are all pretty hard to get hold of.

The amount of experimentation and layering up of different parts together on stage they were doing at the time was phenomenal - there was an amazing gig at (I think) the Kentish town forum around the time STITI was released here they played 2 sets, one more experimental/DnB (mostly from STITI) and the other more traditional (mostly from Dubno) - even just the first half of this gig would have made a great expansion to the box...

Actually, come to think of it, you know what would have made a great CD5/6 for this? Bootleg Babies or 'European Club gig' but remastered from proper recordings.

Let's hope there's a 'saved from the cutting room floor' from this one too!
