Anyway, I finally finished it, artwork and all. It's not strictly a TMBG
compilation; I had a bit of space at the end of each disc, so I included 3 Mono
Puff b-sides at the last minute. Here is the track list, comments welcome:
Disc 1:
1. James K. Polk [Original Version]
2. Stormy Pinkness
3. Ant
4. One More Parade
5. Your Racist Friend (Sampla-Delic Remix)
6. Welcome To The Jungle
7. I Blame You
8. Moving To The Sun
9. Cabbagetown
10. Siftin’
11. Larger Than Life (Joshua Fried’s remake of She’s Actual Size)
12. Particle Man (Live)
13. Why Does The Sun Shine?
14. Jessica
15. Whirlpool
16. Spy [Original Version]
17. O Tannenbaum
18. Christmas Cards
19. Ondine
20. She Was A Hotel Detective
21. Mrs. Train
22. Snail Dust (The Dust Brothers remix of Snail Shell)
23. SenSurround [Original Version]
24. 25 O’Clock
25. SenSurround [New Version]
26. Unforgotten
27. We’ve Got A World That Swings
*Bonus Tracks - Mono Puff*
28. Oddball
29. Tryptophane
Disc 2:
---Istanbul---
1. Brownsville Mix
2. Bedford/Stuyvesant Mix
3. Park Slope Mix
---The Guitar---
4. UK Single Edit
5. Williamsburgh Extended Mix
6. Outer Planet Mix
7. Even Further Outer Planet Mix
---Sleeping In The Flowers---
8. Radio Edit
---S-E-X-X-Y---
9. Radio Mix
10. Tee's Radio
11. Tee's Freeze Mix
12. Tee's In House Dub
13. Tee's Cappella
14. The Warren Rigg Microwave Mix
15. The Warren Rigg Instrumental
*Bonus Track: Mono Puff*
---The Devil Went Down To Newport---
16. Totally Remade
I actually ended up with just over 74 minutes of TMBG material on each one, so
I had to put them on 80 minute discs. But then I had extra space that I just
couldn't bear not to use, so I added the Mono Puff tracks. I think they now top
out at over 79 minutes each.

Would it be possible for you to make a copy of this for others?

Wow, I can't get over how many great songs they have that are only B-sides!
This would be a great compilation.... I have a lot of these only on Mp3 and
many are my fave TMBG songs.... I want to buy these!!
Please elaborate.
I was working on basically the same project at one point. A friend made
Miscellaneous M (all of the B-Sides from Flood-Factory Showroom). I was
attempting to make Misc. B, but I don't often buy singles so it's a slow
process.

Most of them are from TMBG singles. Some ones that aren't are:
One More Parade - this is a Phil Ochs cover from Elektra's 40th anniversary box
set in 1990.
Particle Man (live) - this one was from Mountain Stage Live vol 5, which I've
heard is now out of print. Don't know for sure, though. I was going to include
the version from MTV's 120 mintues CD, but I ran out of room, and wasn't too
keen on having two Particle Men in the set anyway. And that one is only a year
old and still in print.
O Tannenbaum & Christmas Cards are from a green vinyl 7" single, which is still
available through the TMBG catalog - order one today!
SenSurround, original version is from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
soundtrack.
25 O'Clock - this is a cover from the XTC tribute album.
The 3 Mono Puff tracks are from the Devil Went Down to Newport single.
The remix of Your Racist Friend was once available on the 1990 Don't Let's
Start single in the UK, and a couple of promo discs.
The extended mixes from the second disc are mostly from singles, including the
Istanbul 12", a couple different Guitar singles, and the S-E-X-X-Y 12".
The edit of Sleeping in the Flowers is from a promo single.

Yes! Please do it Mike! I rarely come out of 'lurking' for any reason, not
even for We Might Be Giants Too, but I'd give my arms for a copy of those
two albums. C'mon, please, run a few off and we'll all send you copious
amounts of cash! :)
Or, at least, costs, otherwise you're making money out of the Johns'

Last chance to e-mail if you want a copy, right now! My list of how much
supplies to get will be finalized in the morning.
As far as twistid goes, I'm pretty sure just about all of it is up there
already, but I'll take a look.
Sorry :)

Most of the S-E-X-X-Y remixes aren't there, and the mp3 of the original
James K. Polk is really cooked if you use anything except WinAmp to play
it, and the mp3 of stormy pinkness is missing the right (or was it left?
i forgot) channel. I don't know what particle man (live) is from, but
it's probably not there. UK Single edit of The Guitar isn't there, and
Even Further Outer Planet Mix is LQ (I made it myself from that TMBG
shoutcast station, so that's to be expected). I think everything else
is there though.

The one from the US single? No. The "Williamsburgh Extended Mix" from the UK
single is exactly the same as the "Williamsburgh Mix" from the US single.
Sorry!

That same picture also says that Larger Than Life is 3:41. It's actually 4:16.
It's probably a misprint on both counts. They may have even been counting the
wrong break point between the two songs, adding time to one, and subtracting it
from the other. In any case, wrong track times are not uncommon, especially for
WEA. I have the UK CD single, and the track called Wiliamsburgh Extended Mix on
that disc is the same as the regular Williamsburgh Mix. I verified the times,
and played them side by side to be sure. If you are still in doubt, you could
e-mail the person that submitted the picture, and ask him to play the record
and time it.

They've just put the original version of istanbul by the four lads up.
I've had a copy on vinyl long before I'd even heard of TMBG. It's a lot
slower but worth a listen

I didn't really like it much at first, but after a few listens it's
