Never known tracks like "The Ballad of Peggy Grover, "1956 Bubblegum", "Sell Out", "Slowly Burning", "Casting Him Away From You". OMG!

Bright Sunny Day??

there aren't many rarities listed on the tracklisting,save for the early stuff,before '66

then again,anything after the After The Goldrush era hasn't been listed...

Hmm, I've got a copy of Sell Out on a disc of Buffalo Springfield tracks that didn't make the box set. Cool song, too. Haven't heard of those other ones, though.

However I do worry about the lack of some material. The Comrie tapes for one is missing with songs like 'Don't Tell My Friends' and 'My Room Is Dark Cepting For The Light Of My Cigarette' plus others I can't think of right now.
The electra demos would seem to be there, but no 'I Ain't Got The Blues'. I was also hoping for a demo or something of 'Do I have to come Right Out And Say It'.
I also assume there are multiple versions of many of these songs. Like maybe you click on Mr.Soul and different versions come up.
Also given the amount of info you can fit on Blue ray why would the riverboat show only have 10 songs on it. Fill it up so we can here 'The Losing End' and 'Tulsa/Out Of My Mind'.
Anyway I'm not complaining, only wondering. I'll wait to see the real tracklist that Neil releases.

that's exactly what i was thinking

this is the same poster who wrote wondering where Come Along And Say You Will or Bright Sunny Day was quite a few posts above...

did people check out the proposed track listing?

alot of repetition in songs,and alot of stuff missing, such as the songs you've posted

oh well...i guess you can't cover everything...maybe neil just couldn't find the material we're talking about

but see,that's the magic of blue-ray...as neil stated in the JavaOne Conference and as it's shown in the Archives preview...if something comes up, and he finds something missing from the Archives after it's been released,with all this new techonology,he'll be able to send it to us via internet

see...the man knows what he's doing

he doesn't need to fill it all up now

he's got his whole life to add anything he finds after it's release

good call, Neiler
