mogwai rarities

[wut wut]

the 'ep+6' bit from the "favorite mogwai record" poll got me thinking a bit about this.

as far as i know, those records listed on the poll (along with 'ep+6' and the 'my father my king' single) are the only releases. there aren't any singles that went along with any of the records?

i know that they've released some stuff on compilations, or through their website ("sad dc" is excellent".)

comments or a long list would be helpful. thanks.

wow, very impressive.

thanks a whole lot

to add to the above:
http://brightlight.youngteam.co.uk/eng/discog.php
has further info on the releases mentioned

additional tracks:
the version of 'stereo dee' on the us mispressed '4 satin' ep is radically different (and crap)

nme.com had demo and dub versions of 'sinewave' during the week of 'rock action's release

live versions of 'helicon 1' and 'you don't know jesus' appeared on the 2001 uk tour ep, and the japanese issue of 'my father my king'

a live video of 'hunted by a freak' was included on a cd-rom with a french magazine earlier this year

the steve lamacq session version of 'helicon 1' was included on a free magazine cd some time ago

the peel, lamacq, mary-anne hobbs sesssions for the bbc are worth tracking down for different versions of popular favourites

[einzack]

yeah, the various bbc sessions are fab - some better than others, but i find myself listening to them an aweful lot.

ie: i think the peel session version of 2 rights make 1 wrong is far superior to the album version primarily because they use cello instead of vocoded vocals.

but yeah - get ya hands on them if possible.....

[einzack]

and talking about all the additional tracks there are hanging around....

most of them are pretty poor, and good on mogwai for not releasing them on actual albums...

the only songs that i would say are album material are hugh dallas, sad dc and untitled (d to e version).

[johansen smith]

apparently, during the Rock Action sessions, they recorded a version of "Hey Joe" with David Pajo (Papa M). they really need to release that song.

[gwai]

they should cover the entire guns n roses "appetite for destruction" album.
