what's funny - is that the entire band are doing a 'serious face'

...except for Rick and Karl

but yea - I don't think they got enough flak for how 'special' their hair styles are...

Gotta love those Freur days!!!

Anyone have any idea of what the difference between these releases are in regards to the mix of Riders In The Night?

Btw, welcome to the forums, Tony!

Hmmm just wondering if Tony is the same tony who bootlegged the Sheffield Octagon gig in 94. anyway, about spoonman, Emerson did used to drop spoonman samples into his set on the mmmdog? tour that year so maybe an acetate exists from then.

Credit for that bootleg would go to Mark Bothamley, who I am sure can be found in this forum from time to time. Though I did pass on a copy to Yannick with Mark's kind permission. )

I received a Warner Chappell promo cd the other day. It's from a release I've never heard of before. It appears to be legit, so I'm thinking it was meant to be issued but never was.

'Under 12 not admitted: Vol. 1' (yeah, the title stinks).

What do you think?

Also got an original polaroid photo - it's a photo possibly taken by Karl (according to the seller).
And more important, the photo made it to the Mmm...Skyscraper artwork as you can see below

Interesting... on the artwork you can't identify the actual building, but the polarioid shows it's Centre Point in London, at the end of Tottenham Court Road, the nearest tall building to Wardour Street, both places that get namechecked in UW songs around that era.

Interesting. Warner Chappell would be the U.S. music publisher of the time, so I'm not sure why there would be a potential release directly from them.

How about the tracks themselves? Any differences from the normally released version?

[mark3]

Thanks for the info, Lx_Nen.
The tracks aren't different from the released versions but followed by a 20 sec gap...

Terrible title for a CD, and the misspelling of the tracks doesnt help either. "BURT's Mix" and "Irish Pub Mix"... As I remember Telematic and Burts dont have the word mix on them.
