I’ve taken the individual tracks and mixed them to stereo. Anyway, RMW’s sounds better, so I’ve incorporated it here…Īlso of note are the five instrumental tracks of songs from the sessions, including a freshly mixed to stereo version of Monkberry Moon Delight, which was available to mix (in mono only) for a little while on Paul’s own site. used a noisy needledrop of the record rather than going back to the original tape, which he presumably still has. How superb is it? Far BETTER than what Paul wound up using as menu music on the DVD that came with the Archive set, that’s how! For some strange reason, on that DVD, Paul & Co. There’s also (YAY!) extremely clean needledrops of the mono promo Another Day / Oh Woman, Oh Why 45 (thanks again, Charlie), along with the superb RMW ‘drop of the Brung To Ewe By record. So what are the bonuses then? Obviously there’s everything from the official Archive (barring the tracks mentioned above). Disc one has the main album with bonuses, disc two has the mono album with bonuses and disc three has Thrillington with bonuses. So what DID I include then? Well, let’s start with the basics: each disc has it’s own theme. So, if you’re looking for Little Woman Love, The Great Cock And Seagull Race, or the live versions of Eat At Home and Smile Away, you’ll have to wait patiently (though I’m quite sure that I’ll have my ‘Wild Life’ out long before Paul has HIS! ) I did make the editorial decision to not include a few tracks from the official Archive set, as I felt they would much better fit in on ‘Wild Life’. Okay, so the immediate question is how is this different from Paul’s own Archive release? Well, I managed to get the audio onto three tightly packed CDs, rather than on four CDs that barely use up half of their storage capacity. But it is FUN work at least, and it is a distinct pleasure to offer up the 1971 classic (and my personal favorite) ‘Ram’ as the next title in the Ultimate Archive Collection. “This is WORK, woman! This is WORK!!!!” And, so it is.
