"order" of Wildhearts songs

[Ean]

I'd definitely be inclined to keep the albums complete.

Here's how I did mine:

First, let me say that I included no demos, which means all of the pre-Mondo stuff got left out. I only included official, mastered recordings. I also left out all live stuff. My goal was to compile a comprehensive collection of official studio releases from the Wildhearts.

1. The "Don't Be Happy... Just Worry!" album in its entirety. 8 tracks.

2. "Earth Vs. The Wildhearts", the reissue including Caffein Bomb, with the TV Tan, Caffeine Bomb and Suckerpunch B-sides tacked onto the end, in order of release. 22 tracks.

3. "PHUQ" with the I Wanna Go Where The People Go and Just In Lust B-sides tacked onto the end, in order of release, and the first six tracks and the last track of "Landmines & Pantomines" tacked on after that. 26 tracks.

4. "Fishing For Luckies", the official 10-track version, with the entire "If Life Is Like A Love Bank I Want An Overdraft" single, then the B-sides to Sick Of Drugs and Red-Light Green Light, then the Japanese bonus tracks (Weekend '96, 29 X The Pain '96 and Beautiful You Beautiful Me), then Saddened and the early version I Wanna Go Where The People Go, from "Fishing For More Luckies"... and finally, Johnny Wash 'n' Go. 26 tracks.

5. "Endless Nameless" in its entirety with Pump It Up and then the entire "Anthem: The Singles Tracks" album, minus Anthem and Urge. 23 Tracks.

6. "The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed", in its entirety followed by "Coupled With" in its entirety. Then the "Riff After Riff After Motherfucking Riff" version of Vanilla Radio, the two single-mixes of So Into You, the instrumental version of Dancin' and finally, Wild Zero. 36 Tracks.

7. "The Wildhearts", in its entirety with So The Spencers Can Poke Out, Oh Bonita and Unbroken tacked onto the end. (basically, the Japenese release with Unbroken added). 13 Tracks.


Each of these is its own playlist, and then all songs from each playlist were combined into one all-encompassing playlist for random play.

what about "One Less Heartache" with Jason Ringenberg?

You know, I don't think I even have that one anywhere. I remember hearing it a while back and judging it not be "Wildhearts" enough to really worry too much about. I guess in the name of anal retentiveness, I should probably get ahold of the album and at least give it a sporting chance.

I am a fan of Jason now, too... which I was not at the time..

I can send it to you if you need it. I probably only have it in 128 though, as I didn't have the album to rip it from.

Surely you'd have to lose the Landmines tracks and I Wanna Go, as they're neither official, nor properly mastered, and most of them are still at the demo stage?

You'd never get me to remove 'em, mind. No matter how strict my rules...

Oh, and I've got a well over 200kbps VBR Mp3 rip of One Less Heartache if you want it?

I should clarify my criteria. I'm pretty much looking for polished, studio material. I know the L&P tracks are a little lackluster, but they are still well within the range of what I would call listenable quality.

From the pre-mondo demos, I haven't been able to locate a single track that can stand up on its own regarding the actual sound quality. "Truth" comes close, and so does "Push", but most of them sound like basement boombox recordings. "U Wanna" is an awesome song and I would kill for a good, CD-ready, version of it...

Fair enough.

I think the ship has sailed on decent quality early bootlegs though, somewhere around 100 odd copies of copies ago, I'd imagine...

At some point those of us who are the hardcore collectors should all get together on the hub to verify that we've got the best possible copies of everything we have, in regards to the old demos and stuff, and fill in the blank spots for each other.

I'd be willing to burn data CD's and bring them to New York with me.

Good idea, but I honestly think we are already there. For 6 years now I have been hunting this down and have heard 3-5 sources of each demo. Almost all were identical, and sometimes there was a better or worse one. I've compared yours to mine and since I am sure I haev the best ones available, I think you do too.

[nuno75]

For the record, I was able to locate a good 192 version of the entire "All Over Creation" album, and since I can't stand having "ablum orphan" tracks lying around on their own, I'll suffice with this version.

I got copies of all the demos and as far as demos go the quality sounds pretty good. I've had 'em on CD for nigh on ten years and to be honest haven't listened to 'em all that much. I'm listening to Push now & the quality is quite good (i.e. it sounds like it came from the Endless Nameless sessions, so make yer own mind up on that!) Anyway, I dounno shit about file sharing or any of that, but if anyone wants to drop me an email I'd be happy to burn a CD of em and send 'em over and you can make the comparisons for yourself.

[fluffygrue]

Way off-topic..

But Bulb, are you really a Confectioner? *nosies at profile*
