B-Sides or Church Box Recordings Options

[LolEd]

nice try to deflect your anonimity. Here's a sinful.

Actually I really had no idea what it was until I searched for it using the search tool on this site. I found the thread with the long letter from Chad, which I never bothered to fully read, and saw it in that.

I guess I've been so disenchanted with Live I didn't bother taking the time to read everything he had to say..

[SecretInsomnia]

(Dr. Dre anyone?)

[SecretInsomnia]

Agreed. Great news to see first thing this morning. I wonder if he'd give us the track list?

I thought it would be just kinda SS in a rawer version (but mastered tho, now), and maybe some alternate parts here and there + the two already released outtakes. Or will it be drastically different?

[Hoodstock]

I'm just excited to hear this idea is not dead in the water. I'm really interested to hear the "better version" of SS with B-Side tracks.

It's gonna be fucking sweet!

Damn, what if we are treated with some more unreleased stuff...

[Wambangalang]

i really love these guys. They alleviate the burden of having to put thought into my friends birthday presents. Last year all my good mates got TGF, my mother got Alive, looks like this year people are gonna be in for a dose of good ol' secret samadhi churchbox style! Or maybe i'll just buy them weed instead...same thing, right?

I'm guessing the churchbox demos may be missing a few SS tracks. Correct the timeline if I'm wrong but didn't CT say that after churchbox they went to Jamaica and that's where a couple of other songs ie Unsheathed and LJ were done.

LJ was composed well before, so I would bet there would be at least a small demo

[Pokey]

It was composed well before but I seem to remember CT saying it was only a guitar demo until Jamaica where he was playing it to Ed out on the balcony and Ed began screaming "more wine!!" and such so if the churchbox were done before going to Jamaica then I'd expect not to hear it?

SECRET SAMADHI CHURCHBOX DEMO, 1996 (Columbia, PA) age, 25yrs.
MEDIA FORMAT: DAT

Throwing Copper changed the game. It was a massive success only overshadowed by the tour that surrounded it. PJ Harvey (don’t forget the towel), Veruca Salt, Weezer and Jimmy Chicken Shack were only a few of the openers to support us as we toured the globe for two years non-stop. I bought a house (with cash I might add) and moved into a swanky neighborhood in Lancaster, PA only a few blocks from where Ed had also purchased a home. We were in our early 20’s with way too much money & fame. We both wanted to chill out and enjoy the fruits of our hard work. Gracey moved to Portland OR to marry his first wife and Patrick escaped to the party life of South Beach. The Lancaster clan continued with the high pace energy of the road while still living in a small town. The two didn’t mix well as we ate, drank and generally raised hell from bar-to-bar all in the spirit of celebration. I wrote the riff to Lakini’s Juice on the third floor of my house, passing out over several bottles of red wine but the vast majority of songs were assembled at The Chameleon Club. We had arranged with owner & friend Rich Ruoff to let us write, rehearse and record (still have the cassette) during the daytime hours when the club was closed. Ed brought in GasHed and I nearly died it was so good. The first recording, a board tape from The Chameleon is one million times better than anything on the album! Fuck, I just got chills writing about it. We were so excite, we called Ken and Jay at the Churchbox and booked some time to demo the new material. Ghost would feature the churches massive pipe organ (still better than the album), Freaks, Mall Rat, Photograph and Turn My Head are a few I can recall. Gary liked the vibe but didn’t think we had the single and would push us further. In my opinion, this is the greatest creative era of Live and thankfully, The Churchbox Session are very well documented. I would go as far as to say that the early energy capured in these demos blows always anything we captured on the album. The audio quality is amazing

From the above we have:

Lakini's Juice guitar demo
Gad Hed
Ghost
Freaks
Mall Rat
Photograph
Turn My Head

those are the few he recalls, but CT also says...'vast majority of songs were assembled at The Chameleon Club."

New City?...............................

[SecretInsomnia]

I remember someone stating Freaks was a TC outtake or at least created during the TC tour?

[OutToDry]

Yes, that's true. Freaks was written & performed during the TC tours.

[briburge]

Yes, that's true. Freaks was written & performed during the TC tours.

I heard freaks a few days after or before Woodstock 94

[OutToDry]

yes it was first played on 7/31/1994 (at least thats the first recording of it) in Orlando FL, the aldous huxley boot.
