"Lift Me Up", Studio Version Options

[crustyclown80]

This is a great song!


Does anyone know if a better version exists? The one I have sounds like it was ripped from an 8 track or something..

I made a new digital copy of Hold Me Up from a source tape I had from years ago.. just today, ironically. Is there an FTP I can upload it to? It might be better than the one currently floating around.. as I tried to reduce the noise and EQ it a bit.

In fact, the whole tape is full of Throwing Copper outtakes and alternate takes. Mostly altered production on the tunes that ended up on the album. Some versions are significantly different. It even has a studio version of Susquehanna.

Tracks are below... happy to share... but please note: I've done what I can with the quality of the songs... but the source tape I'm working from has a crazy phase issues and noise that I couldn't remove.

Wow, I'd love to hear those. I can't help you with an FTP server, but you could try YouSendIt. There are a limited number of downloads (100 before the link stops working), but people who download it could mirror other copies. And I'm sure Dan may host them after he gets them.

I'm particularly interested in your recording of "Hold Me Up" because it's definitely one of my top favorite outtakes. The other stuff is intriguing, too. There's a studio version of Susquehanna floating around but it's HORRIBLE. Anything would be an improvement over that.
