I would love to hear any outtakes that exist from this era. I find the album to be a fascinating misfire of sorts. I’d just like to have an original or old pressing of the record, as I never see this album in the used bins at my store. Maybe if there is a new release, somebody will unload their old copy?
I made the mistake of selling the old versions. The 40th anniversary LA Woman is also the original mix
I will be surprised if there is a live component, unless the band has acquired an unknown live tape (or if there is another DVD reissue of the PBS performance). While I do not see a complete release of the Rock Is Dead reel likely happening, I could see a new edit of the jam session released.
While I passed on WftS, The Soft Parade might be interesting if they'll use a new remaster and add a reasonable set of bonus tracks. But with the reissues of SD and WftS I'm kinda doubtful on the bonus content.
I would like to see three items offered in the package: 1). Catacombs 2). Nursery bones 3). Winter women growing stones* * Carrying babies to the river optional.
Seems from other hopin' and wishin' threads, you cannot petition Doors Management.... The Matrix is out there. Somewhere...
Wild Child, Shaman's Blues, Wishful Sinful, The Soft Parade itself is "pants"?!? I must be hearing a different album!
Ok. Soft Parade is indeed half a great album. I certainly wouldn’t call it “pants” though! “Runnin’ Blue”, “Easy Ride”, “Do it”, and although I like the “anthemic” sound of “Tell All The People” the lyrics are rather weak. That leaves 5 great songs. So not entirely pants to me. Maybe “pant”.
That makes no sense. What’s the problem with pants? or underwear? How do Brits feel about socks? This thread is becoming Hats.
They stripped away a lot of the instrumentation, leaving a rather stark vocal. I posted this on another thread and nobody got my drift. The 2007 / 40 Anniversary remix had the best bonus tracks of all the albums: "Who Scared You", two takes of "Whiskey, Mystics and Men", "Push Push", and an alternate "Touch Me". People complain that "Easy Ride" and "Do It" are just throwaway tracks, but they're strong IMO. Over ten thousand people, many with cameras, and yet no evidence? For an overview of the Miami disaster, I recommend Life, Death, Legend by Stephen Davis. The whole legal thing was started some days later by a muckraking junior reporter from the Miami newspaper (who just happened to be a fellow student when Morrison attended FSU), the presiding judge was a Nixon appointee running for re-election in Florida, and Nixon and the FBI were both down on Jim because of comments he made about the president in previous concerts. (Sorry to go off track on this.)
