Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room 2008 Replicas reissues

Your not the only one to raise that fact,most fans are unhappy with those two tracks being on the cd but it's not our choice.

It would have been best to keep it to the original sessions. I 'guess' BB thought it would be value for money and make it more collectable. Final decisions go with the majority in the same way that BB opted for 'Engineers' without 'DITP' and 'Metal' even though they were performed that night.

It spoils it for me having the Renegade Soundwave mixes on the disc. I know I have the option of skipping them, which I most certainly will, but it spoils the running order, & the RS mixes don't have that Replicas sound.

It's also annoying that DITP & Metal have been omitted from 'Engineers'. WTF! Why do these record companies give you something with one hand, then take it away with the other? All we want is everything & that is NOT too much to ask for. I'd quite happily pay extra just to have the complete set of Replicas & Engineers without the fannying about.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

As for "Engineers" DITP and Metal(and Engineers itself for that matter) were not on the Original Radio show that this recording comes directly from (or more to the point from the bootleg most of us have)

The only good point about 'Engineeres' missing is that it was not performed at the gig itself, so it could never be on the original broadcast, or subsequent bootleg.

My point was that DITP and Metal were not brodcast by the radio station nor on the boot made from the tapes from the radio station so that leads me to belive that they didnt record those tracks on the night

Am I right in saying that there is no live recording of Engineers ? At least not on the official releases...


Will?

Not as far as I know

I know Will, i was referring to your other point about 'Engineers'. I was agreeing with you that its not on the live album, but at least its not missing for no reason.

Still a silly name to call an album with the actual track not on it
