Wishlist - Beaucoup fish deluxe boxset

[Troy McClure]

Showcasing other remixers wouldn't be my first choice either even though there were some good ones from that period.

As for any potential studio demo tracks I'd like:

--Cappe Ffuno
--The part of King of Snake they used when they did really long live jams...I think it's referred to as 'Bungalow'
--Please Help Me jams
--Five Points

And I'd love to hear anything from the Underworld & U2 sessions.

There's also the possibility that U2 release a 20th anniversary edition of 'Pop' which they have done with other albums - giving us a chance to hear the Mofo mix(es).
If they do, that would be in 2017.

I guess there's no reason why a hypothetical box set need only include the strictly Beaucoup Fish tracks/jams from underworldlive.com site. The skyscraper / air towel / stagger (etc) jams are all from 2000 (as far as I know) and therefor of the BF era. So it might be a good idea to include everything from 99 - 2001 in this thread, including the "cowgirl live" single with the bedrock/futureshock mixes.

This. My favorite era of UW. Have all the remixes, radio shows, live improvs. I'd love studio versions of the above UW jams, but see no reason for remastered remixes. Rarely are they very memorable, though I guess you could argue that this era was the last time when remixers really worked with the track elements, rather than taking a vocal sample and one loop to put on top of their own crap production, which is sadly the case today.

As I mentioned in the Stiti thread, I'm most keen to hear outtakes from the BF sessions. Just because we don't know about them doesn't mean they don't exist... Case in point, STITI boxset disc 3.

There are accounts that the BF recording sessions were tense, with mixes shared over DAT if not in person. Promises of many embryonic versions! Would love to have works in progress and tracks like the above that never saw official release, especially Cappe Ffuno

WORD. Some awful mixes in the last 7-8 years. The remixes of UW tracks for OWB were a real mixed bag. Some of the mixes for Barking were a disgrace.
