can someone clear this up for me. are all of these songs on "26 songs" because there are 24 when i count them all up. and is there anything from any of these albums that doesn't appear on 26 songs?

[Chief Ten Beers]

The 26 Songs CD covers it all. There's really no 26th song on the CD; at the end of track 25 there's a "field" recording of them fucking around talking with some neigborhood weirdo and jamming at someone's house when they were teens.

[feelmytool]

thanks man i'm going to buy another melvins cd and i didn't know which one i wanted to buy so i decided to see what the differance between all of these are

[(PAUL)]

The songs on 10 Songs and 8 Songs are the same, the cd just had two extra songs. The songs on 6 Songs are the same songs but different versions of them. They are all included on 26 Songs. Kind of confusing, and the fact that they include 2 and sometimes 3 of the same song with different recordings of it doesn't help matters.

[feelmytool]

so everything is included on 26 songs right, cause i'm gonna buy it pretty soon.

Seems strange (as this release is aiming for completeness) that they didn't include the 4 tracks from the Deep Six Compilation and Malfunkshun split 7" on this. They're from the same period, contain a couple of alternate versions of tracks already on there, and would've fitted on the CD. Any ideas why they're not on there?

[anaconda]

I think becuz Cruz Records still owns the rights to release the Deep Six comp versions

[Chief Ten Beers]

What the Melvins should do is release a b-sides boxset with EVERYTHING(live and studio) that has not been included on the official albums/CDs that are in print. There's a ton of stuff out there, the one-off singles on small defunct labels, the Atlantic years, ToraX3 box, etc. etc.

I'm just too lazy to be bothered with downloading/transferring and hunting down singles on ebay for one song.

[klump]

I have a feeling that were gonna have to wait a while for the next melvins album.

they have sort of had a gigantic production level the last few years, so...maybe some re-issues, but i think a fullfledged album will take a while...

(all the statements above are obviously reversed psychology to make the melvins do the EXACT opposite !   )

(damn phpbb codes! )

Conda did you mean C/Z records? Cuz Cruz Records was a pretty crappy label.

[anaconda]

yes, simple slip of the fingers Dub. Nice attention to detail there.
I picked up Blessed Black Wings todays btw, would i be
out of line to say there's a definite Motorhead influence??
They picked up some schooling obviously when they toured with
Motorhead last year. At least from the first three songs, and that
great opening drum assault on Devilution. Thats the only time you
hear Albini's patented dry drum sound on the whole CD! hahha when
Des is unaccompanied!

-----
p.s. Cruz is/was shit Dub, I have some Greg Ginn solo bullshit
that he mailed to our studio ages ago. Complete crap to be honest.
Greg Ginn with drum machines?? So uncool.

[DubEMC]

Was that Dick by Greg Ginn? Talk about a guy that lost his edge. Yeah and that ALL stuff was some of the worst music I've ever heard

[anaconda]

did everybody out there get a promo copy of DICK? hahhaa, my mom even  has one.
