Underworld "1992-2012 The Anthology " and "A Collection": Release Dec. 4, 2011

[BrotherLovesDub]

I must be a sucker because these both look pretty good to me.

[holden]

Most likely definitely going for "1992-2012" on the strength of disc 3. (and the artwork!)

Sort of on the fence for "A Collection"...wouldn't mind getting "Beebop Hurry" or "Downpipe" in a quality format, though "The First Note is Silent" is a terrible way to start out the record, imho! If Joe Casual buys this record as an introduction to UW, that first track, and arguably the next several collabs certainly doesn't lend cred. for the weath of solo material that's to come.

Are the 2011 edits or any of the anthology tracks recently remixed/remastered on fancy new equipment or is it the same ole 1992-2002 remasters that we already got?

Are all of the tracks available for purchase separately?

From UWlive about Disc 3:

Disc 3 (unreleased tracks and rarities)
1. The Hump
(The first ever release by Smith/Hyde/Emerson on the Tomato Recordings label. First time available on CD or digitally)
2. Big Meat Show
(A staple of Underworld early live shows but never released on any format until now)
3. Minneapolis
(The B-side of Lemon Interupts Dirty 12". This is the rare full-length version, first time available digitally)
4. Why Why Why
(The B-side of the pink vinyl issue of Rez. Only previously available in its full length on a Japanese import)
5. Oich Oich
(Originally released only on Pearl’s Girl EP on Wax Trax/TVT/Junior Boys Own)
6. Second Hand
(Specially recorded for the first and original Ibiza chill out album - Cafe del Mar Volume 1)
7. Parc
(A live track - previously only released in Japan)
8. Simple Peal
(Bonus track on Japanese edition of Barking)
9. JAL To Tokyo
(Only ever released on vinyl and as part of the Riverrun series of digital-only EPs)

Firstly I thought Second Hand was an edit of Thing In A Book. Secondly, JAL to Tokyo is available digitally on CD on the Japanese Breaking and Entering CD as a bonus track. Minneapolis was available on CD but only on the This Ain't Trip Hop Part One CD in an edited form, and in the form of a Jim Hopkins remix on Twitch Recordings.

A life less ordinary OST. You should know that And also irrelevant to this thread.

and Raj/-1: I was just quoting/pasting the bad spelling. Lets hope it doesnt make it to the final pressing. I have Second Hand on the CDM double vinyl and on some best of cafe del mar CD but havent listened closely enough to hear how the edit was made. The insinuation from me was rather that it wasnt specially recorded but that it was cut from TIAB.

"Second Hand" was always disappointing to me. I think "Thing in a Book" is one of their best tracks and this edit kinda cuts off before things get good.

Agreed that there are some weird choices here, and no "Juanita" seems weird (doesn't basically everyone agree that's one of their best tracks?), but they've got a lot to choose from

I totally agree.
