Steve Miller Ultimate Hits New Comp

But it's a completely different performance, and much shorter at 3:44 - original is 6:41. It *might* be a contemporaneous alternate take but I doubt it. Only a couple of the pre-Joker tracks sound anywhere close to my memory of the originals; I suspect they are all re-recordings.

Good luck matching the magic of "Anthology":
Steve Miller Band - Anthology
He was more than a "Joker" back then; a real musical chameleon.

Hope the mastering matches the quality of the music.

 

Based up upon the personnel listed, it looks like quite a few of the live tracks might be more recent live recordings. However, no recording dates are listed.

Here is the allmusic review. They indicate some of the live tracks are more recent recordings as well.

 

I think they are remixes. Disappointing that the live tracks a current rather than vintage.

 

Thanks for this link. I love the Greatest Hits 74-78 CD. Sounds great too.

 

When did Serenade get renamed?

 

Thinking the same thing! Only one song from Number 5!

 

Number 5 is my favorite Steve Miller album. Love the original vinyl.

 

Yeah, it's my favorite too!

 

Steve apparently hates Number 5. I think it was released to buy time while he recovered from a car wreck.

 

hmm, I have the 3 cd horse boxset. any songs on here that aren't on that boxset?

 

The unreleased live versions of tracks and outtakes are not on the box set. There might be a few others as he has released some albums since the box set but I haven't compared the track listings.

 

the only 2 albums he's released since the 1994 boxset are bingo and let your hair down. there are no tracks from those 2 releases on here

 

anyone have this yet? can someone tell me what these are ?

4. "Baby’s Callin' Me Home" (Previously Unreleased)
9. "Seasons" (Previously Unreleased)


are they re-recordings?

 

There is nothing in the liner notes about recording dates. I am guessing they are re-recordings.

Seasons if I recall correctly is just Miller solo.

 

sounds like skimpy liner notes. you'd think it would have some info of the unreleased stuff

 

All they have is listings of the musicians that appeared on each song so you can figure some approximation of recording dates from that information but not the exact dates or locations.

 

However in the case of Seasons, it is just Miller solo so there is really no way to tell. I am just assuming it is a re-recording.

 

Late 60's on a complete albums overhaul box set. AGREED!!

 

Capitol is reportedly going to remaster his catalog with bonus tracks. The Ultimate Hits release was the start of the project.

 

Kow Kow Calculator is my favorite of the live and re-recorded tracks.

 

Dude...Now that is some awesome information. I held off on buying any of his catalog only buying a greatesthl hits cd.
Hopefully will get this box out soon. Love Steve's late 1960's early 70's albums. Incredible material. Thanks for the kind word.

 

I am not sure the are going to release a box set. I think they are going to release the individual albums remastered with bonus material. I doubt they will release all of the albums at once. Most likely just a few at a time.
