The Ultimate Rarities Thread, [Upd 10/2008] Demos, Outtakes, Remixes, Holiday Gifts & More Options

[J.Sax]

Thread updated October 11, 2008!

For the last year and a half or so, this thread has been the source of a ton of rarities for a lot of people. I had amassed my collection over several years of being active in the LIVE community (sometime in 2001, I believe) and figured I'd compile everything so that the rest of the fans could top of their collections, as well.

It's been a long time since there's been a proper update to this compilation, so for the last few days I've been working hard to gather up some other things I may have missed the first time around and some others I've gotten a hold of since the original post.

I've re-uploaded everything to a brand new MediaFire account and this should make it extremely easy to download what you need. There are still RAR files so that you can download an entire folder of MP3's in a couple of clicks, but if you're only seeking a few tracks, you can now download them individually, as well!

Everything contained in the original post is still here and I've included even more for those who need it! Some of the new additions include:

• the 2000-2005 Holiday Gifts ripped by me, with the exception of 2000 (credit goes to ridley). Videos content IS included for those who want it.
• Collaborations with Adam Kowalczyk, Tricky, The Heads, Neneh Cherry and Stuart Davis (including "Miracle" from Davis's release earlier this year).
• Extended versions of "She" and "Everytime I See Your Face" - NectarDan posted these a few years back and they were included in the original thread, but these are the 320 kbps copies that were included with the purchase of the TDTH Demo Session. I believe they're currently uncirculated.
• MTV Unplugged in full from 1995, posted by NectarDan a while back.
• The Pilgrimage to the Southern Stars release of TDTH. I saw that this was posted elsewhere in the forum, but several tracks were missing. I'm still missing "Sparkle," but "Deeper" is included. (And no, I did not include "Vine Street." It was not a part of the set when I downloaded it from #LiveNet back in the day.)
• My own copy of TDTH's 1998 Demo Session. I believe that they're ripped using the same encoding that dangum used for the MP3's in his thread, but I wanted to include them here for the purpose of completion.
• There are a few more, so make sure you check everything out!

k, I tried to work out the lyrics for Photograph.

Very bad quality version (not that I'm not grateful, I am!) but very hard to hear.

and I may be way off. Some of the lyrics don't make sense but I don't know if that's my ears or just the way the song was written. ??Did Ed write this song????

This is what I got:

Photograph (Attempted lyrics)

So much hate
Such a perfect town
So much race
It’s such a charming town
So full of grace
On such a perfect ground
Love, time, untraced

And photographs baby
Sea to salt
And back to the sea
And photographs baby
To let time and feelings be

So much hate
Such a perfect town
So much waste
Such a tired town
So ?? and waste

And photographs baby
The sea to salt
And back to the sea

And photographs baby
Turn back this time
When your heroes be

I know you may care
For me
To come undone
Set you from them
I’ll make it clear
Set you from them
And change in me?

Ooohoooohoooohey

And a photograph is the thing
From sea to salt
And back to the sea

I took one of the
Devil once
Took back this house
Where heroes be


So much hate
Such a perfect house
So much waste
Such a tired town

Yeahh oohh yeeaahh
Free
Yeah, yeah ooohh!
A little tired place
That chased….me
