Hello again everyone, Over the weekend, I came upon six 3Fish tracks I have never heard of. "Can I Come Along", "If Miles Were Alive", and "The Easy Way", said to be from the first album. Also "Landmine", "Let It Go" and "Stand Under", from The Quiet Table. Now, I assume that these tracks were released on the vinyl versions of the albums. Am I right? Cause there not on the CDs I have. Does anyone have the tracks?
The first two songs are b-sides to the Laced single. As for the third song, i'm not sure..
I like 'Can I Come Along?', where as the ther is a little more experimental. Both good, but I can see why they didn't make the album - def not as strong.
Thanks Laura! But I have the single "Laced ". And there's only Laced on there. Is your version a UK release? Is it on CD? Now I want to put my hands on the albums vinyl versions... I wish myself luck!!!
Yeah, they're from the vinyl versions of the 3 Fish albums... it's really worth having those albums on vinyl... they really lend themselves to the medium and the artwork is amazing!
I have the B-sides/vinyl tracks in .mp3. IMHO, "Stand Under" is one of the best songs they've ever done. I think it really highlights all the great things about the band. Great song.
I read somewhere (may have been via the Library of Congress) --- and I stand to be corrected -- but I believe Jeff wrote music and lyrics to "Landmine" and wrote "If Miles Were Alive" (instrumental). I remember thinking that "If Miles Were Alive" sounded like the equivalent of "tribal skateboard music" (for lack of a better way of putting it!), so of course, it didn't really surprise me when I found out who the writing credit implicitly went to!
Wow... It took me all that time to learn about those tracks!!!! Where the hell have I been! I got to get my hands on those vinyls. Now, where am I going to find those at a reasonable price. All the places I've looked into only have the CDs! Yup, Elusive One, believe me when I say that so envious of you!!! So, the art work is different then on the CDs? I so much fell in love with those albums, I feel like betrayed! 3F let me down! I need those songs!
So you play bass too? Is your band a tribute to 3F? I assume that because of your band's name, as you stated in another post. Tell me more! What's the music you play? Do you sing too? Do you gig a bit? What's your bass(es) and rig? Is it more of a hobby or do you plan on going further with the music?
Enough for now, I don't want to cram you with too many question in this one post, I'll keep some for later!!!
