There are a few songs from the era which have not received surround mixes due to missing multitracks: "The Witch's Promise", "Dr Bogenbroom", "From Later" and "Nursie". Maybe with separation techniques getting better and better, Steven could have a stab at those? In the case of "The Witch's Promise", there's even another mix that could be used to get another set of stems. Maybe the same technique could also be used to isolate the second flute part from "Living in the Past" that was wiped and replaced with an organ for the Living in the Past album.I would assume, perhaps incorrectly, that a Living in the Past bookset would contain more than what was originally released in keeping with all the other sets.
If so, I’d be curious to know what extras might be included before I call it redundant... although that is the first word that came to my mind.
If only there was an insider who could tip us off to what the plan might be.
The Carnegie Hall concert, which was the source for the live tracks from Living in the Past, was included on the 2010 Stand Up reissue but none of the book sets. A SW mix of that concert could be interesting, especially after Bursting Out and the other Benefit era gig he has recently mixed.
Looking at the TAAB bookset today, I notice that the Life's a Long Song EP gets completely glossed over despite being Barriemore Barlow's first recordings with the band, so maybe some insight about those tracks could be included.
