[Audio] Secret Samadhi 25th Anniversary Edition (2CD & 5CD), Fan-made project in lieu of anything official from the band Options

[ridley]

In lieu of an official 25th Anniversary release from the band, I've created a fan-made compilation that follows the format of the previous anniversary releases for Mental Jewelry and Throwing Copper.

It presents the album and available outtakes on Disc 1, and a pristine live soundboard recording from the week that the album was released on Disc 2. This show, recorded live at the Warehouse in Toronto, has long been available via the 'Secret Samadhi Concert Broadcast' pre-FM radio discs, however this is the first time it has been compiled with The Psychedelic Furs cover 'Love My Way' from the same show (released as a B-Side to 'Freaks') and with the interspered band interviews removed. The songs have been rearranged in setlist order with the crowd noise patched together to form a seamless listening experience.

Also soon available will be a 5CD Expanded Deluxe Edition collecting together all officially released rarities and alternate versions available from the Secret Samadhi era, including a never before shared pre-FM show

Very cool! Looking forward to your expanded version as well!

Great compilation. The Toronto show sounds excellent and you did an nice job integrating Love My Way and removing the interviews.

I really wish Live would release some unseen Pro-Shot concerts from the '94 thru'97 era.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

Has anyone done a comparison between the CD version of Secret Samadhi and the vinyl rip? Could somebody point out what I should be listening out for? What sort of headphones are you using? Thanks
