    I have most of that stuff on other compilations. Most of the stuff I don't have is kind of lame. You can find a lot of it on Youtube if you want to hear what some of them sound like. The 2 best cuts that I hadn't heard were Hobo by the Good Rats and the version of Whatcha Gonna Do About It? by the Evil.

    *sigh* I honestly can't give you a straight answer, because I don't know.... I truly believe though, with quite a bit of reason behind me, that the 'Advanced Test' bootlegs of the supposed Anthologies 4, 5 and 6 are indeed leaked, legitimate compilations.

    Now, by legitimate, I mean "Very, very rough builds of what COULD have followed", possibly by some wishful-thinking insiders. I mean, the artwork alone screams of legitimacy to me (CD labels aside; if anyone has seen the labels on these boots, they're obviously amateur attempts not from the same source as the covers). Every aspect is dead on, especially compared to the ridiculously sloppy attempts from this same time period where bootleggers tried and failed to mimic the Anthology back cover design. Look at 'Anthology Plus' - they didn't even use a legit Beatles logo!

    Content wise, the presentation of the music on all three volumes far surpasses bootlegs of the time (including the aforementioned 'Plus'), nicely weaving in and out of interview excerpts just as "Anthology 1" had, and giving lesser quality tracks like "Aerial Tour Instrumental" a slight but effective remix. I'm sure had these moved further along, they would've been greatly revised - disc 2 of "Anthology 5" relies a bit too heavily on "Here's a Sgt. Pepper outtake... and here's George Martin talking all over it." But the track lists as they are correct a lot of mistakes from Anthology 1, 2 and 3, presenting all of the newly-created stereo mixes from the video series, as well as the original untouched versions of songs like 'Not Guilty'.

    Again, these are just my thoughts; bringing up these albums tends to start a big controversy (people immediately dismiss them as fake because "they never heard of them") - but I've seen first hand that innovative compilations can be created and killed fairly early in the process, even before reaching the artist's approval.

    Intriguingly, the covers seem to be screen captures from a video... but that is a mystery that might remain unsolved.

    The Alice Cooper boxset Rhino was going to release containing I assume all his Warners albums from Prettie For You through to Da Da

    Do you have any more info on the original planned release for this. All the tracks were released on the 2 reissues of wilder but I only have the 2 disc wilder release and it doesn't mention the 'buff manila' release just the fact they were uk b-sides

    You mean the 2-CD Charly IMMEDIATE singles sets?

    There were four sets (8CDs total) compiled and trailed in the artwork of the first two sets released in 2000 (CDBOOK 101 & CDBOOK 102) but Castle/Sequel stole a march on them with their 6CD singles box (NXTCD 324) and Charly cancelled the series.

    Thing is, the Charly sets were to also include bonus material on all but the first set - the second one has these bonus tracks:

    Glyn Johns - "Untitled"
    Rod Stewart & P.P. Arnold - "Come Home Baby"

    As far as I know, "Episodes" 3 & 4 of this Charly re-issue series were never made.

    "I'm Going Your Way" is a fantastic song, definitely worthy of release.

    There was supposedly a Best of the Sundays release scheduled in 2000 that the band put a stop to--still curious to find out what the contents of that would have been.

    The Smirks Smirkology would have been the band's first-ever compilation, had it been released.

    I seem to remember from my time on a Prince mailing list (nearly 20 years ago) that a live box set was coming soon to plug the gaps in his WB contract. Also some remix project. Shame the former never happened.

    The Red Bird Story Vol 3 was supposed to be a double LP on Charly but when they went CD only they took the tracks and spread them around a 4 CD set.

    The Wallflowers were going to release a rarities disc entitled Looking Through You: Another Collection following their greatest hits album. While I've seen cover art and task listings, I don't believe this ever saw the light of day.

    I have all 3 on vinyl, but I would probably break down and buy this for the bonus tracks. I'm still searching for Five and Dime.

    The Dave Clark Five box of hits and unreleased material that was discussed back in the 90's. Some of that stuff will eventually come out but will probably only happen when the "estate" is in someone else's hands.

    Van Halen: Best Of (1978-1984)

    This was supposed to come out in 2007 before their first reunion tour with David Lee Roth. Personally, I think it would have been a very strong greatest hits album of the Roth years. For some reason, Eddie killed it:

    01. Runnin' With The Devil
    02. Eruption
    03. You Really Got Me
    04. Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
    05. Jamie's Cryin'
    06. Dance The Night Away
    07. Somebody Get Me A Doctor
    08. Beatuiful Girls
    09. And The Cradle Will Rock
    10. Everybody Wants Some
    11. Mean Street
    12. Unchained
    13. So This Is Love?
    14. Where Have All The Good Times Gone
    15. Oh, Pretty Woman

    Who's Last was supposed to have some stuff with Moon and material from the '79 tour.

    First draft I saw of this had SIDE ONE tracks from Fillmore East '68, SIDES TWO and THREE from the Philadelphia '79 tapes and SIDE FOUR from the 1982 tour. The only tracks I remember specifically was that a version of "Drowned" (Pete vocals, Roger harmonica, which they played at all fall '79 shows) was to be from Philly '79 and they were to use a version of "Naked Eye" from 1982. This was from one of the old WHO info/zines (maybe GENERATIONS?).

    Also, I read in BUCKETFUL OF BRAINS (years ago!) about an album called SINGLES by the Soft Boys. This was to contain the single versions (mixes) of all of their singles, starting with "Anglepoise Lamp". It even had a catalogue number. If I can ever find the old issue, I'll post the advert.

    Where did you find this information? It is also on Wikipedia but there is no source given.

    There is one compilation of his recordings for ECM. When would this other one have happened?
     
  22. Not, because they didn't always use the right mixes for the "Yesterday and Today" tracks.

    I believe there was also an attempt to make a DCC Dave Clark Five 24 Karat Hits gold CD that was aborted when Dave Clark asked for something like a million dollars up front...?

    And I also believe there was supposed to be a Hoffman-mastered Japanese-market Beach Boys compilation, but at least most of the tracks were "Hoffmanized" elsewhere.

    It's just a DISGRACE that this hasn't been released!
