No, they're different - the Noisebox version is longer, the Any Day version is noisier (although I only have them on low-quality mp3 so the difference in noise could just be the way they're encoded)

Be interesting to hear a live version of "George" though.

Thought so, too, but wasn't sure (since I, too, only have MP3s of the Noisebox versions)... shame... means there's still one version not "technically" available. Bummer... but this package is nice, and certainly - I'll be picking it up, too.

Only time I ever saw 'George Lassoes the Moon' played live, they did a shorter version, so I do hope the Astoria recording is closer to the original Noisebox then, if we are not actually getting the Noisebox version.

Yayyy ! Mines ordered too, it's come at a great time as my copy of AITB has mysteriously gone AWOL !!

CANNOT WAIT, should cheer me up as around that time I'll be all mournful with no live dates on the horizon !! Sad

Do Elbow or Fiction own the rights to these recordings? Is this being released with their input/blessing?

The other half was speculating about all this as well. Apparently, Universal Music Group bought V2 from Branson in Oct 2007. The current label, Fiction is a satellite of Polydor, who are wholly owned by UMG so the two companies' output should be owned by the same corporation.

It'd be interesting to know where the band sit in this arrangement: Whether they're being dragged into it by some savvy Universal suit experienced in timing releases, or if the lads have pushed for this themselves as the nearest they could get to the all-hallowed B-sides and rareties package.

Either way, it's great for fans and (you'd hope) all good for Elbow themselves. More info: Universal Music Group and V2

I should imagine they would have some input. It's certainly great for us and will help to tide us over until some new material is released. Perhaps the B-sides (referred to as 'Dead in the Boot' in an interview with Guy shortly after TSSK was released (I posted the interview some time back, somewhere...), will be released sometime next year when things are a little quieter?

I want a vinyl reissue too.

Just checked amazon.co.uk, and it looks like the release date has been pushed back to Oct 26 Evil or Very Mad

BTW, I ordered my copy from play.com, cheaper and no shipping Very Happy

It's a shame they have pushed back the date. It would be great for the set to be released on the 18th for the MEN show, they could sell it at the gig adding a special something to keep us all occupied during the long cold Elbow free winter!

Got an email yesterday from AMAZON saying it had been pushed back to end of Oct - beg of Nov.

What ARE we going to do with ourselves post MEN ? Crying or Very sad

Read Middles band biography, while you wait?

If there was just the faintest, faintest, glimmer that the pushing back of the date was anything to do with a slight alteration in tracklisting. The missing Noisebox track, of 'George lassos the Moon' and maybe even a live Shocked

'Asleep in the back' added, then I would wait forever, however long it took.
Doubt it though.

Dead in the Boot was first rumoured in 2005. Been waiting since the press release in january 2006 for the B-sides album,
so sure... we can wait.

That came to my mind too when I read the delay note from amazon.
Now I wonder what will be first; that special edition or the Another Tongue/Scratch my back stuff from Peter Gabriel... What a Face

I would assume the delay was because the release announcement was out of the blue and these kinds of dates get shuffled a lot... I'd say the tracklisting (missing track and all) would be final... but I'd love to be proven wrong.

(And don't expect the Gabriel stuff any time soon... he is NOTORIOUSLY slow...)

Oooh, can't wait for this!
Something to look forward to after the MEN!
