GATS reissue?

[Lee]

Think it’s inevitable that Donkeys will end up on this reissue in place of something else.

I'd rather the b-sides were fitted onto the disc of remastered GATS but they won't, you'll have to change discs probably!

I would have said that they wouldn't mess about with anything that Richey had a say in but thinking about it doesn't that crazee book have a tracklisting that Richey did for GATS which finishes with Yourself ?

Oh here we go! Go on then. Signing off on anything as usual!

Having done my best to avoid crazy books, how did the claimed Richey's track listing run? Wad it the same ten tracks jumbled up, or did he want eventual b sides included too?

[Suicide Aldi]

The same tracks jumbled up. I cant remember the exact order, but it was pretty awful to be honest.

I’d keep it the same. No need to add/change anything. Just put everything right after.

Also - maybe we get a gold vinyl? Lol

Given the short length of GATS I hope they do a double LP with the b-sides on the second disc.

I had a look back through the Withdrawn Traces thread and this is supposedly the original running order that Edwards wanted:

1. From Despair To Where
2. Drug Drug Druggy
3. Sleepflower
4. Nostalgic Pushead
5. Life Becoming A Landslide
6. Gold Against The Soul
7. Roses In The Hospital
8. Symphony Of Tourette
9. La Tristesse Durera (Scream To A Sigh)
10. Yourself

It seems to be fairly random, doesn’t it?

But if that HAD been the tracklisting, and then 26 years later we looked at the tracklisting we now know, we'd probably say the same thing, having got used to this one over all that time. :-)

... exactly! I can't imagine Sleepflower nor being the album opener, but at the same time I could imagine FDTW working first up. Not so sure about La Tristesse and Yourself to finish things up though.

[Son of Stopped]

Plus is La Tristesse at the end to send a clue that the "Baggy wars" have won? Terrible suggestion!

[PaulTMA]

Say what you like about the finished album, but the sequencing is spot on.

Nick, if you browse this forum, just leave it alone from now on, please.







Look what happened to Morrissey.

GATS CD/LP remastered release is a matter of time. I'm looking forward for a GATS tour!!
