: Oh yes - that version of 'fanclub' on, erm, FANCLUB!!! is excellent. It just ROCKS!!! It is a shame about the absense of any 'different' version of brighter day - what happened there i wonder, of all the tracks to have alternate mixes, surely this would be the one... Did they ever perform it live? It'd be difficult that would - much hair pulling would probably ensue (their own and, undoubtedly, eachothers) ;)
It has also come to light that 'Fanclub' is now in it's third pressing - having sold something like 7000 copies so far. Bruce need no longer worry about his house being repossesed!!! Mortage no longer a problem. Now there's there's a 'fan' that puts the rest of us to shame. perhaps we should harrassing people for the much needed 'drag boxset'. We can do it you know :)

Deadheads, Fishheads......Great comparison, however, as much as I enjoy a good listen to "Touch of Grey" They do not compare to the fabulous Jellies, although I know that no one is making any comparisons. Bellybutton, agreed, if there is a "weaker" album, (I hate that word) this would be the one, however, the simplicity of this recording lended itself to a much easier live transition. Spilt Milk, deliciously over-produced to perfection, dosent really cut it as well live, although the version of "Fan Club" on the box set (track 14, disc 4) is freakin amazing!!! The way Andy holds that note near the end, "I wished Id loved him...." gives me shivers every time I hear it, amazing!!! Songs like Brighter Day, just wouldnt be done justice live, (is there such a creature? live demo or otherwise?) Jellyfish ruled, we are almost all unhealthily obsessed, I have two copies of the box set, one still wrapped and held securely in its shrine. Our obsession is justified, I am one proud fishhead :) Equally as proud Dragster :) All hail Roger and Icky :) Im not kissing up Ick, you are so the man! Discuss???? ID SLEEPZ NOW :) zzzzzzzz
