Bonus Tracks: Buried Treasures or Trash?

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I think I may have mentioned before that I like the reissue of Mirage which has bonus tracks of Camel playing at The Marquee Club. Who would not want those? 
I also find all the outtakes and demos on the expanded version of The Wall very interesting

Love Beach ( ok don't run screaming from the room!) has interesting work in progress versions of Canario and Letters From The Front. For a fan this is interesting only because ELP never playing the thing live so these raw versions give you some idea what they might have sounded like if they had. The raw sound is actually good and confirms one of my main issues with the album - that horrible thin clinical production. I bit fatter and rawer and it could have been a contender.
