I understand where you're coming from Paul, I guess I'm just not as bothered about it as you are. I'm a bootleg fan too, so I'm quite happy to leave that stuff there. But if it's put on album you do get a better mix. Some albums actually have a half minute gap between the end of the album, and any extras.

Quoted from Paul Doherty

Its like if your fav album was Sgt Pepper,would you want day in the life to end....and a rough mix of when im sixty four to start at the end as a bonus track,just when you've been blown away by the original content of the album?

I think a rough demo of 'Only A Northern Song' would finish off Pepper nicely.
(I'm putting this in brackets in case some of our younger members take me seriously!)

Just jumping off the subject a bit.Has anyone ever seen the video of John promoting 'walls and bridges' on an american tv show(tomorow/today show?),where he mentions that its great that Paul,George,Ringo and he all had albums at the same time,he also comments about the albums cover and stuff?.Ive seen about 20 seconds on youtube....anyone seen the full interview?

Didn't he say something like 'why does everyone keep going on about The Beatles getting back together when we've got four Beatles albums out at the same time'?

i remember him saying 'isint it nice its the first time we are all in the charts together' im gonna try and dig it out at home later,its just a clip though,wouldnt mind seeing the whole show.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Strangely, I've yet to hear anyone complain about the 5 bonus tracks that are stuck right in the middle of the re-issued 'All Things Must Pass'. Now that's annoying!

Now you mention it, yes it is annoying. I think a better option would have been to put the half the jams and half the bonus tracks on each disc. The jams are hard to appreciate individually as they are all lumped together at the end of disc 2.

Well, like I said, I have no real problems with extra stuff, but I think it should never interfere with the running order of the original, like 'All Things...' does. Weren't the Jams part of the original release?

We had a poster here a while ago who didn't realise that the lumpen Power To The People was a bonus track on POB. This surely affected the whole listening experience, and greatly altered the context of the album.
Western civilisation is under threat as it is without this crap going on.

I use my iPod to listen to the song order the way I like it . I just leave the bonus tracks off altogether .
