More detail about the WTTN Special Edition Release
 

Well, thanks to Evil One, the previews for the amazon release have been posted:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Welcome-To-T...6866683&sr=8-6

It appears the record company found a way to ~~~~ everything up.

The good news is we get CD quality versions of TTW (which is TWO MINUTES LONGER then the video edit :))) and BOOH from the beacon theater.

The bad news is: Sadly, the same cant be said about poor Dry Eye
"Runnin for the red light LIVE" is the studio version. Yes. THE ~~~~ING STUDIO VERSION.
Twice in one box set instead of the live version of Not a drye eye.

Now, You can give amazon the benefit of the doubt and say they made a mistake.

Im not gonna be optimistic over this. they f'ed up bad and it pisses me off.

Whats next? they release LATW and replace all the live tracks with their studio counterparts?

Someone better get fired over this.

O, come on. This is not urgent, nor a big deal. Neither did anyone ~~~~ up everything. Mistakes happen, deal with it.

And since Running for the Red Light was released as a b-side on one of the I'd Lie for You singles, it's a honest mistake. It shouldn't have passed quality control, but it's certainly not worth firing somebody for.



Also, when is somebody going to explain why Is Nothing Sacred is added? That song has, afaik, nothing to do with WTTN, and shouldn't be on it.

there's also a chance it could end up being a completely different live song and not runnin for the red light...since it's basically the LATW tracks (i know there's a few exceptions) it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case.

True it has nothing to do with WTTN .. but the inclusion of this, Let It Be, Come Together, and Beautiful Mornin' are wonderful bonuses and have brought a huge smile to this fan's face :)

Caryl

Why would the inclusion of a song you already have on the best of make you smile?

If it was the DUET version of Sacred, then it would make a bit more sense to me. Still has nothing to do with WttN but at least it'd be a single obscure track that has not previously appeared on a studio album.

I dunno, it's inclusion seems completely pointless to me. Maybe we should put Blind before I Stop as the bonus track on the next Bat2 re-issue.

Hmm

It's more likely in my opinion that Amazon has managed to mess up with the track previews. Won't be the first time that's happened will it. No real urgency anyway, the thing is released in a few days.

Well .. for a start when I put this new CD in a player I'll have it to enjoy at the end .. but mainly perhaps because I'm less critical of being given bonuses than some, and don't spend my time examining the molars of gift horses but just enjoy the ride ;)

Well I have that as well, but enjoy the solo version best, so still pleased .. lol

Caryl

According to the preview, it is the full length duet version. But, yeah, it's a bit pointless.

well i guess most people are buying it for the dvd, i think its a nice collection.

Don't forget you can still get the exclusive print version from us.

The stock will be here tomorrow so I'll have a good listen. All preorders posted on Friday :)

Well not everyone has it...... like, me for example, and I am sure I am not the only fan in the world not to.

Thanks Kev :-)

:twisted: You've been watching too much Apprentice :bleh:

:yep:

I don't care about that, i'm gonna have my WTTN special edition on friday!! :-))

well I guess I overreatcted a little bit. but teh real reason I bought this set was for the live version of redlight, bat, and TTW.

Crossing my figures the previews were a mistake....

replaced "some" with me.

love that analogy about examining the molars of a gift horse. no sarcastic-ness intended.

And to enhance your analogy, I did examine the molars of this gift horse and it has a huge cavity in its front molar. Hopefully a filling can be acquired, or sadly this gift horse is in for some agonizing pain.

:twisted: In reguard to the above quote from Caryl, while I dare say we're all happy and excited about this release, I don't think it can be called a "gift horse" if we have to pay for it.

good point. We who ordered it payed a fair amount for a copy of an album the majority of us own. I dare say most of us were attracted by the extra contents, and the majority of us pressed the order button cause of an exclusive live version of red light and the bonus b sides.

What's really sad is that I've already got four dif cd releases of WTTN, this will make five

:twisted: What releases are those Michael?

I only have one copy on CD myself and I don't recall any other edition (apart from the promo, obviously).

And there's the difference between us .. over three decades on, I still regard everything that comes as a gift, be it a new album, another tour or a special release like this ;)

And I was responding to someone who asked me:
Any of the above from Meat invariably does :-) :-)

Caryl

I'll see if I can bung pics up later but they're all proper releases, one English, one American (dif artwork and their inability to use the English language properly lol) and two French.

I've got 2 versions, the Australian release and a Japanese one with 2 live bonus tracks. And of course the American one will have the 'wrong' spelling. And like Caryl, think any new or re-released stuff is a gift.

Carole

I lurve a good remastered / re-release. No doubt. They're great.

But when Dead Ringer is put as a bonus track on Bat out of Hell, or when Is Nothing Sacred is put as a bonus track on Neighbourhood, or any other nonsense 'compilationing' of the material, it does not make me smile. It is not a gift. It is useless, and it annoys me.

Stock coming today... I've had WTTN on all week here that hah!
