Odelay - Track Listing - Deluxe Edition

Deluxe Edition

On January 29, 2008, Odelay - Deluxe Edition was released. The two-disc set contains the original album, plus 19 b-sides, remixes and previously unreleased songs. The liner notes feature complete lyrics and artwork as well as an essay from Thurston Moore and the transcript of 15 high school students interviewed by Dave Eggers. The cover art was deliberately edited to appear as if it was a personalised copy of the album, with stickers carelessly half-ripped off and various doodles on it (such as a face drawn on the dog and rainbows behind it) and including the phrase 'Property Of Michael' written on the back. The exclusion of Diskobox may have been done as a deliberate nod to the cover art having the 'strictly limited edition bonus track' sticker partly torn off.

"Diskobox", which appeared on the original UK and Japanese pressings of Odelay, was not included on the deluxe edition for unknown reasons. The Odelay sessions version of "Debra" (later re-recorded for Midnite Vultures) is also absent, despite initial statements to the contrary.

Some of the bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition (specifically "Deadweight" and "Clock") appear to be from lossy (e.g. MP3) sources. Some of the tracks included have been altered beyond simple remastering. No official explanation for these changes has been given. Some of these alterations are listed below:

First CD:

  1. - "Hotwax" has a more double tracked vocal during the verses
  2. - "The New Pollution" has the same synthesized beeps from the original version, but played at a different pitch
  3. - "Sissyneck" has a slightly extended 'breakdown' part at around 2:00

Bonus CD:

  1. - "Thunderpeel" is folded down to mono from the regular stereo version
  2. - "Electric Music And The Summer People" is an alternate mix
  3. - "Erase the Sun" runs at a faster speed (the original release may be slowed down)
  4. - "Trouble All My Days" is folded down to mono from the regular stereo version

Famous quotes containing the word edition:

    I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
