Singles Soundtrack "Super Deluxe Edition" Planned

[pat]

Hoping this board is not defunct. I am not on Facebook so I really relied on this board. Sad to see it's shape the past several months.

Anyway - saw this bit of news and wanted to share:

"The new deluxe edition (which has been rumoured for a long time) adds 18 tracks to this, including much more from Chris Cornell and Paul Westerberg"

Track listing below. Will be cool to see if these are just instrumentals or maybe demo songs with vocals?

Got an email from Amazon UK shortly after placing my pre-order informing me that the release date was changed and estimated arrival date will now be between May 27 and June 2.

It's not up for order anywhere in the US. Weird.

I suppose I will buy but I don't care about the grunge stuff, I really don't.

I'm wondering... Is "Lost in Emily's Woods" an early version of "Lush and Green?" I believe I read somewhere that the song was inspired by a poet named Emily Woods, whom Paul was seeing. And he added some additional lyrics that referred to Emily's Woods in a live version of "Lush and Green" some years back. Guess we'll see when the record comes out.

Great memory and connection. :-)

This is now available to pre-order from several US outlets I've checked including Amazon.

Anybody have this yet? I saw "Dyslexic Heart"video on the MTV Classic station the other day. They get adventurous sometimes, Butthole Surfers also came on.

I have an order placed with bullmoose.com and it's supposed to ship in 2 days on the 18th! I'll come back with an update if it actually does ship this time without another delay.

Review up here: consequenceofsound.net/2017/05/album-review-singles-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-deluxe-reissue/

Key part:

Fortunately, Epic has padded the soundtrack’s 25th anniversary deluxe edition with all of the leftovers, especially Westerberg’s original score. In hindsight, it’s always been a little bizarre seeing the Minneapolis crooner on a soundtrack comprised of ’90s hitmakers, but the singer-songwriter makes sense for two reasons: For starters, it’s long been argued his original outfit, The Replacements, were the true progenitors of alternative rock (Nirvana before Nirvana, essentially). But more importantly, Westerberg’s acoustic flourishes are the lifeblood of the movie, soundtracking the film’s main principals, Steve and Linda, who bring some maturity to the overall narrative. Finally being able to have songs like “Lost in Emily’s Woods”, “Blue Heart”, and acoustic versions of “Dyslexic Heart” and “Waiting for Somebody” should be a relief for both die-hard fans of the Midwestern bard and the movie itself.

It is up for purchase on Amazon Music. I tried the previews to hear a taste, but they only have a few that you can preview. Rest say "Album version" and don't load. Well, I'll buy... soon.
