Free Music Notes for Fine Art of Surfacing
Free Music Review: Many consider it their best; great remaster, odd track order
Hit: 5 Stars
Thankfully, this 1 re-release, out of 6, has an unperverted track order...but the price is still ridiculous, so check with the new/used dealers in the top right instead of Amazon...
Anyway, I'm writing this review to note, for the less informed, to correct/make notes on the other reviews which are incorrect in their claims about original versions of the albums/sources of tracks:
"Real Different" was ORIGINALLY released as the B-side to Elephant's Graveyard in 1981, about 6 months before the release of Rat Tracks.
Rat Tracks, much like the Rolling Stones' Flowers "album" was a fabricated release made by North American record companies, outside the band's control. The same sort of treatment most bands used to get (and sometimes still do) when their music crosses the oceans to reach North America. A stupid, but very common, activity on the part of North American record companies.
"How Do You Do?" was ORIGINALLY released as the B-side to "Like Clockwork" in 1978.
Not intending to pick fights or criticize, mind you, I'm simply obsessive about the original placement of non-album tracks.
