Warner Bros. released a promo cd titled "r.e.m.IX" that was some remixes of several songs during the Reveal era, but I don't think that's what you're referring to? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.e.m.IX

Yep... I dropped my $75 for reissues of things I already have... 😁

Sounds good to me!

Do we officially ABANDON this forum that's on a Morrissey site now?

Voice of Harold from WHAT vinyl? Dead Letter Office? Or UK/Holland So. Central Rain 12"? I do not have a vinyl Wendell Gee with these two b-sides. My 12" UK vinyl is backed with Crazy & Driver 8 (live). I DO however have the Live For Life on vinyl, so I have the Ages Of You with handclaps...

I went back and edited this to APRIL in my post. I agree Chris misspoke/mistyped. That's what all the stories I've ever read have made it out to sound like. Johnny Hibbert had FINAL say since he was footing the bill for the whole thing. I don't think Easter's mix was disfavored by the band...

Hey everyone! I have MAJOR new information to my "Radio Free Europe" comparison.... https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/an-rem-thread-for-r-e-m-stuff.74200/post-1987151650 I got in touch with Chris Hartstonge that runs the REM Timeline to ask what he thought about all the different versions...

Thanks @nyc_midy !!

I edited the link in my original post. Hopefully works now. Sharing "link with key" always sounds like the wrong way to do it. Like someone would need a key to access it. I can never remember which is which... :unsure:

And.... HERE are the 2 live b-sides copied directly from my "Rockville UK 12in" vinyl. These we recorded on Apr 20, 1984 at the El Dorado Theater, Paris, France. https://mega.nz/folder/sZUAGCJQ#sd7n420URXEDw6OKgEiDMw

Wanted to give Gary Nabors credit for correcting himself.... In the "1995 Supplement to Remnants" in the "notes/corrections on earlier editions" he says: "The source of the live versions of "Gardening At Night" and "9-9" on the Murmur IRS Years re issue cd were incorrectly cited in early...

Earlier there was some talk about the live tracks on the "Murmur IRS Years" re issue (1992) and their source with the possibility being Boston July 13, 1983. Settle in for a LONG one here.... The liner notes from "Murmur IRS Years" re issue don't list a source for "9-9" or "Gardening At...

The Hyena on the Fables 25th Anniv and the one on Pageant 25th Anniv are VERY different sounding. The Pageant one has "harder/grungier" sounding guitar. But both of them are slower than the official released version on Pageant. I don't have the one from the Complete IRS Rarities to compare...

Wow! I was surprised to find out I don't have ANY of those... Leaving New York is the only cd single I have from that album. Sorry!

I've NEVER seen that show recording out there anywhere. Not even way back in the "tape trading" days of the early 90s...
