That might be me you are talking about. I mentioned that, but others say that isn't the case, so I should listen to the Barking version and the Anthology version back to back. I had thought that one section that lasted for only a short while was different. I'll double check.

About Oich Oich, someone was talking about how it had a video in '93...I'm curious about Oich Oich (one of my favorite UW tracks)...I've heard some call it a STITI era track and others call it a Dubno era track. Which era is it? Does it belong to one or the other, or did it emerge in between the end of the Dubno era tracks but before the creation of the STITI era tracks?

Also, about the Big Meat Show, it is too bad about the vocals being cut off at one point. It is a demo, though. But I'm glad that a different version of the leaked track was made available. It is nice to have another version of it. I still like the Dubno DAT demo better. Hopefully the CD version of Big Meat Show will have an edit of the cut off lyrics and a better ending (it does fade really fast).

I don't think it is so absolute. If your talking about when it was released on CD, then i would call it a STITI era track... And the atmosphere certainly fits more into the STITI.

Although you could also argue that Juanita, Air Towel and NUXX were being played in some of their early shows - they could have even been written at the same time as some Dubno era tracks...

The music timeline seems complex. They have always been creative - writing tracks, shelving tracks, bringing back tracks that were written 10 years ago to complete them...

Somewhere in my loft is a copy of 'Kiteless - A Tomato Project' which in case anyone doesnt know was a VHS released way back before Footwear Repairs. I think Footwear Repairs is this Kiteless project plus later STITH vids (oh, and Dirty apparently).

Anyhoo, the Kiteless VHS came out in 1994 and has the Oich Oich vid on it. In fact i think snippets of Oich Oich may've been used between the other tracks too (?). It was great at the time to get a brand new track on the vid

I guess that puts it deffo in the dubno era... It being so old i wasnt so excited when it appeared with Pearls Girl, but Cherry Pie made me very happy

I bought the Anthology bundle from the site this morning. Excited to own the hard to find songs by legitimate means. Never had heard the 9:12 version of Jumbo....love it.

Was wondering why I got multiple links in my confirmation email to download the music? Did anyone have trouble editing the tag info?

thanks for the help, Jason

Regarding that 9:12 version of Jumbo... Has there been any confirmation that that is indeed the version on the CDs?

Given that several of the digital services have different versions, I'd love to know which version is indeed on the CD pressing.

Gotta say I'm a bit bummed about the audio glitch in Big Meat Show... That's going to bug me now every time I play it...

Nope. It's listed as such on the Amazon CD listings though. Also, the downloads from Underworldlive.com are the 9 minute version. So I'd say it's likely on the CD.

It's interesting - Amazon (US) has the mp3 download at the 6:57 album version. There are no time listings for the CD, however, Amazon (UK) and Amazon (JP) have the tracklisting for the CD with Jumbo 9:14.

iTunes also has Jumbo 9:12 listed for download.

Right now I'm streaming the Anthology from Rdio and they have the 6:57 version of Jumbo. They have the 2 disc available to stream. I just checked Spotify (US) and they only have the 1 disc available for stream of the Anthology - they also are streaming the 6:57 version of Jumbo. They have the Collection available to stream, whereas Rdio does not.

It's pretty safe to say the 9:12 version will be featured on the physical release. I've pre-ordered mine from Amazon - couldn't beat the deal - both 3 disc Anthology and Collection CD for under $25 US Shipped. Noice!

I bought the 3-disc set thru Amazon and got a 6:58 version of Jumbo.

/facepalm

I'm so sick of this "buy it from here for this" bullshit with music. Its beyond ridiculous that I now have to go to iTunes and buy this as a single track after just having purchased the album.

While I'm at it, not liking the odd spoken-demo track of Big Meat Show. How does that version make it onto the compilation? Who wants to hear "I'm not tracking this" in the middle of a song? I'm sticking with the demo from the Dubno rip we all have.

Underwhelming release.

I just ran through "A Collection" and the biggest thing on there is Beebop Hurry in much better form than on Athens. First, the beginning is truly not mixed (i.e. this wasn't just taken from Athens). And the ending is properly there too, instead of being cut off as on Athens, which must have been a mistake.

The only other previously unavailable material is the 2011 Edits. They are true edits, not just fade-outs. But nothing special there. They just lose various sections to make it shorter overall. Skyscraper loses the whole "Can U Feel Me?" section from the end, and then some bits in the middle.

The only other track that is changed is the King of Snake (Straight [Mate] Mix) which has a weird fade added to the end that isn't present on the single version.

Ordered Anthology cd set from Amazon before reading the newsletter email from Underworldlive that stated if you ordered the cd from them that you get a download code to listen before the physical copy is mailed out.

No big deal I guess, but wish that I could listen to rest of disc three now if nothing else (used my Amazon "bonus mp3 download" promotion from buying a qualified music product to snag the slightly fucked up Big Meat Show with the "TRANCING TRANCING" shit).
