I'm stood here at work, only having a passing familiarity of John/Teeth through this forum, and just finished reading Steve's words. My co-workers are shooting odd looks over here, wondering why a grown man is fighting back tears at 6:51 AM on a Tuesday morning. See, I am in Western New York and ...

yep, that's the one ("Big"). The single version is even better, entirely diff recording than that on the album. Came out about a year prior.

Pigeonhole is a pretty spectacular LP....

I've never heard this band's music but they sure as hell shot themselves in the foot with that there name of theirs. It's a tremendous handicap. Makes me wonder if they ever shared the stage with such luminaries as Ashtray Babyhead, Green Apple Quick Step, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, or Fretblanket ...

Drew - out of interest, what exactly was used as the source for the remastering?

Was the process just repeated and your mastering work discarded? Or was additional mastering work carried out on 24 bit mixes post your processing, but pre-dithering to 16 bit? Or were the files just ripped from your ...

anyone able to find if saville did the packaging for these?
Saville indeed did the packaging for these. I have to say, they look stellar. Fantastic job - and I'd go as far as to say they're even better than the Heart and Soul box set packaging.

The taper kept his originals in a closet for 27 years after initially making dubs off them in 1980 (from which dubs the bootlegs were sourced), these versions ...

Samples were here, but I removed the public links to them. Sorry. PM me if you want them.

what exactly did they do? What sounds different in the released compared to submitted?

Compressed/limited, and re-EQ'ed to the point it distorts in places...

I'll try to post samples.

Backstory:
The details are irrelevant (fascinating as to how this native Chicagoan-but-transplanted-to-Buffalo person with no industry experience got involved, but not relevant to this C/NC) - but somehow I found myself roped into the current Joy Division reissue campaign (out currently in the UK ...

"The Kill" is on Still. The one that goes "and through it all I kept my eyes on you".

"The Kill" on "Warsaw" (the version with the baby on the cover) is a different song altogether. they just recycled the title for the "through it all I kept my eyes on you" song on Still.

The Warners demos on ...
