Should there be an Alternative 2?

[Monty--]

You can forget you're namby pamby 'Further Listening'. I want a double cd of B-sides excluding crap like 'Break 4 Love' etc.

What do you think?

Ok, here goes..

1. Delusions Of Grandeur
2.Hit and Miss
3.The Calm Before The Storm
4.A View From Your Balcony
5.Disco Potential
6.Betrayed
7.Confidential
8.How I learned To Hate Rock'n'Roll
9.The Boy Who Couldn't Keep His Clothes On
10.The Truckdriver And His Mate
11.Screaming
12.Sailing
13.The Ghost Of Myself
14.Silver Age

er..that's it.Everything else is crap.

[Chrispsb]

Hm, no. I own all the singles so I don't need it.

[One of the crowd]

What would be the point in releasing a second B-sides album when half of them arent even on there, just because you think they are crap?

Personally, I cant see a second Alternative as the FL series has sorted that out.

I would rather see a rarities compilation with tracks that havent appeared on CD such as

West End girls (10" Mix)
Opportunities (Dub For Money)
Suburbia Part 2

etc etc

And Neil states that there will be further listening, so I guess we will get the B-sides somehow.

I prefer Further Listening disks as we get the nice booklets with comments on each song.

I'd buy an Alternative 2 if it was gonna be packaged like the Special Edition that had the changing faces cover on the box and the cool booklet.

I like Alternative over Further Listening only because there aren't any duplicates of songs on Alternative. The FL's generally have more than one version of a song on it, and that kinda wears on my nerves if I'm only in the mood to hear b-sides.

So if you want to hear just b-sides, an Alternative 2 would be good.
If you want bells and whistles, Further Listening is in order.

Heck, I'd buy 'em both of the packaging and price is right!

[DazzerUKUK]

I'd rather have the Barfly versions on cd first!

[Hmmm]

Or as said before the songs from John peel session as they are already recorded live to cd as good old John mucked up when he cued one of the songs in ..

That is fatal and even more so when they are in sequence like Domino dancing

But on topic: Alternative 2 for teh win!

[TheGardner]

yes! But not sure though which song they should choose for a single...

[!]

I only got into PSB through Flamboyant so I only have the Battleship Potemkin and Further Listening albums!

I would like Nightlife: FL and Release: FL, because I don't have those albums

You can always rip the b-sides from the FL discs and make an Alternative 2 yourself!

PS.
I would also like a box-set of the Disco albums, lol

[stew]

never sure coz in a way it would be a waste of money
there is nothing that you dont already have is there really!

maybe one with the stuff that was only available on 12" would be cool

[Janet Street-Porter]

Roll on the box set with every single, b-side and mix on cd replete with exquisite packaging.

PSB Completely.

[stew]

are they gonna actually do a box set???

I'm certain they will eventually. The fanbase will obviously buy it and it is a very PSB thing to do.
