If any of you are Beatles fans you know that the song One After 909 on the album Let It Be was originally recorded for their first album Please Please Me but never made the cut.
On the Anthology series they released the full original studio recording of that Please Please Me track. It was strange to hear a song they had recorded 7 years prior sound so different than the one released.

With that in mind, i have been listening to pre LC Eisley alot. And it would be amazing if they rerecorded Sleepy Head

Its such a good song, even this old one sounds good. But a new recording would be amazing.

Any older songs you'd like to see them redo?

Sleepy Head would be great to hear rerecorded. Maybe Pretender or Cobalt....something old that they could change up a bit.

I imagine it would be difficult to go back and work on something you wrote at such a young age. I just completely ignore most of the poems I wrote as a teenager now haha.

You will kind of get your wish with the full album online concerts if they happen, but I think it said they are acoustic.

Related band Quiet Company recently just totally re-recorded their debut album. I think he mostly did the original by himself, but now he's redone it with the full band that it has become.

There is also the negative side. When this is usually done it's because an older label owns the original recordings so they record again to try to 'trick' people. I bought an Everly Bros Best of record assuming it was the original recordings. It sounded really close, but I knew something was off. Same thing with country artist, John Anderson. I wanted a greatest hits comp, so I did research and the reviews would say they are not original recordings.

That's a great point. I've experienced that with a lot of vintage recordings because the singles that artists made their names with may have been one off recordings for a small imprint, or later hits were done after one label transition, but before another, and the rights are hard to secure.

I have only one particularly uninspiring example, and it's from hip hop. EMPD released two cd inclusive of a new album and a greatest hits disc, but since their first two albums were with Sleeping Bag and Priority records, and the rest with Def Jam, they rerecorded the older songs, and "phoned in" the vocals. In some cases they changed lyrics when appropriate, but other times they didn't seem capable of taking the process seriously. Partly because of how basic the recording process was at the start of their career and how it paled in comparison to what they were doing with digital recording. You can almost hear them chuckling as they realize how bare bones and dated their hits are in comparison.

As far as Room Noises and Combinations, the acoustic shows will be nice, and a great way to showcase their vocal and musical maturation. The thing that gets me thinking about rerecording is that if they own the rights to the songs, but not their masters, it will give them the freedom to release those recordings in whatever format they please and prosper, so long as there's not a clause in their contract along the lines of a no-compete clause or something to that effect. Also I would love to hear what excluded songs they might have wanted to included on those albums, and which they would cut if any.

I remember Boyd posting about it Room Noises potentially being a double album, and I would love to see what that would have looked like. Then he shot that down and talked about a potential quick follow-up, and I would love to see what that album might have constituted, since it would have been made up of tracks written during the Room Noises sessions and prior.

Well room noises ten year anniversary is coming up. Perhaps they might rerecord it for that. That's assuming they wanna do something special for it and WB won't relent the masters.

That would be totally awesome as a 10 year anniversary thing! I think it would be really interesting to hear what they intended them to be and see whether its what we would have expected or not.

And I mean, they have a freakin home studio now. It makes me stoked that they've been actively utilizing it. They have plenty of time to do whatever they want recording wise. Also, I'd love to finally hear a nice quality recording of Mr. Pine and Lady of the Wood.

It'd be cool if they redid cobalt, dream for me, and blackened crown. Hearing becoming you expanded would be awesome too. Random, I use to think blackened crown was blackened "clown" =P

I like the video of the vampire with bouncy boobs better. Laughing

Sleepy Head, Blackened Crown and Mr. Pine are already recorded nicely. I'm more interested in songs that were never recorded like Lady of the Wood, Queen of Leaves, Silver Bugs etc.
