I keep hoping the put a really good live version of DOA out at some point,
any chance it could be coming? I love that song and it kicks ass live

Well the chances of a totally new version are probably rather slim, so far the only totally new tracks they've released have been those from Studio 606 on top of 'Big Me'. But if you just want a re-release of a previous version, the only one I can think of was the 2005 Radio 1 Live Lounge, that was on the Live Lounge comp CD originally.

I would love to get DOA live from Hyde Park as an audio download or the version from Wembley officially released

So 01020225 has apparantly been replaced by....00020225. Same four tracks + four more from the 1x1 era, again all previously released.

Did they realise they goofed on the name, that it should have been 00? Seems like it.

Thanks for making Normal finally streamable, guys!

Also, the Disenchanted Lullaby version is nice.

[geo.]

i don't think I've listened to Normal for 10 years.

oof.

[Ria]

Normal! love this one so much
i liked the acoustic version of Disenchanted Lullaby, too.

[Foo-tastic]

Love Normal. By far my favorite Foo song of all time.

I Lol'd. It was just like many of the 2019 Ferrari box orders - undercut or overcut? We aren't sure exactly what that was - can we call it a "recut" and keep everyone happy?

Not at all knocking Simon's reply to you about the haphazard ordering here, just he talked re CD and I simply don't think a box will be CD centric.

I think that yes there is a least some sign (IMHO) that a box set of (vinyl in particular) will be released.

I'm actually wondering if it might even be very limited - just because I'm wondering what their appetite to go all out for "25" (ie Dave) vs management saying "that just wont sell well enough on all the old songs", actually is.

What would you want most? (No I'm not running a vote)

1) Extended album vinyl box set (stuff we never got on each album)
2) Extended EP vinyl box set (everything released (and maybe not released) that was previously only digital (CD/internet)
3) Cant decide and I'd buy both.

Yep, and me

[FooZealand]

I love you both... you both get it

I also love to rant and rave (like nobody knows this lol). And honestly I'm just waaay past being called out for anything I say, and factually I'm like prob 3/5 of many here in terms of knowing stuff (hopefully not in terms of saying stuff I know nothing about, which is important... opinion is one thing etc etc).

But hey at least I'm still amusing a few people I care about and it's mildly intelligent or even sometimes accidentally slightly insightful

AND

3) is the only correct answer


I've revised the numbering. The album will be a fuck out on all the numbers called...

2095

20 years since 95.
A future date that can leave everyone wondering, (aka 2112 Rush).
100 Years until the band ends in 2095. (ie we'll be here all our lives, and maybe still remembered then).

Hell I dont know - just make me the boxset and sign up my estate

Pat will still be in the band in 2095, still looking as youthful as ever and still powering those down-strums on Monkey Wrench.

2095 London.
"Down-Strum" is indoctrinated into the Oxford English dictionary as a Royal endorsed synonym for "raising, inspirative, uplifting..."

Pat stumbles, shakes arm toward outstretched hand area and firmly grasps 2020 Carbon 15L Nebuchadnezzar, muttering... "This is the only uplifting that matters..."

"02050525" has dropped...

I have no clue what the first 2 numbers mean anymore HOWEVER...we now have an official non-vinyl release of Spill! THAT is pretty cool.

Yeah I don't know anymore, following the 'edition' theory this should be 01, not 02. Unless they goofed again, who knows.

Non-vinyl version of Spill indeed though, shame these aren't officially available to download anywhere although it is possible on certain streaming platforms....

The highlight for me is Kiss The Bottle - it’s damn catchy - is this the only FF song recorded with Chris on lead vocals?

He's also lead on their cover of 'Danny Says'.

This also happens to be a cover of a Jawbreaker song.
