As if everybody thought it would be funny to see how long they could keep the joke going. The term is unknown in this country as a synonym for fart, and is quite vulgar across England. Which is fitting for this vulgar orange man. http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/264355/in-what-english-speaking-communities-does-trump-refer-to-the-breaking-of-wind "Trump" is actually the tamer and more socially acceptable term here. Grown-ups say fart; children say trump. There's a brilliant British cartoon show though called Horrid Henry and they say fart in it quite a lot, and I hate the kids hearing it. I've had to tell them that they shouldn't really repeat it, which they have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Never before released music doesn't deserve to be heard in Thor's fucked up vision for the world. If it wasn't good enough for the original album forty years ago, it simply no longer exists and shouldn't be released or listened to now by anyone anywhere.

A24 4,331 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I agree, it's a marketing ploy. I've never heard a bonus track that would have made the original album stronger, quite the contrary.

Thor 7,504 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I actually have a lot of unreleased, early songs (in bootleg format, but still), and I have very little to no interest in demo versions, alternate mixes, outtakes etc. But is there a list of these songs anywhere? I'd like to double-check, just to be certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 20 songs are unreleased. The other 110 or so are outtakes, alternates, remixes/remastered, or live versions of songs we've already heard on prior albums. It'll contain some previously released albums cleaned up, but not all of them. There will be a two disc sampler set, which is what I'll likely stick with buying, as well as all volumes released individually later. This will be an investment for sure. And if this is a success, will later years also be unleashed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I guess it's a rising trend for record labels to put out these super lavish and expensive box sets with endless versions and takes of songs. Dylan has 3 of them out now, and I've read the only reason Columbia is doing it is to retain the rights so it doesn't become public domain. Ah capitalism!

The difference is that from Dark Side of the Moon forward, there wasn't nearly as many extra material recorded beyond what they put on their albums. Also, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall already received individual lavish box sets with the same kind of extra stuff their early work is getting here.

From glancing through the track titles, I think the only tracks I don't already have in some format is the unreleased music from MORE. But even that, I might have on some ancient bootleg CD (I haven't transferred it all to iTunes). Of course, the sound quality on this set may be considerably cleaned up.

But I guess the risk of some record label executive stumbling into this thread, and then deciding to boycott promos and stuff to me because I bought a few Pink Floyd bootlegs in the 90s, is fairly low.
