I probably wouldn't have bothered with this, but there are a few people I won't say no to, ognetty being one of those (and just about anybody on our fine staff here at the Zomb, for that matter). So blame him for this, if you choose to do so...
After listening to the one that circulates as "Billy's Home Demos", I went and grabbed this disc that I got back in 1996, from the so-called label of Moonraker, which put out this CDR called "The Mellon Collie Demos". Smartly, and even before the offical release of the Tonight Tonight single, they left off the versions of songs that would then be officially released on that single, and in the box set "The Aeroplane Flies High".
The disc I had ended with an interview that's been ommitted, and the one song that appeared on "BHS" but wasn't on my disc, Marquis De Spades, has been added to the end.
Comparitvely, this disc sounded far superior to the aforementioned "BHD's" and scoped out as a much more likely lossless source. Though still somewhat damaged in it's journey to this disc, it's still worthy of a work-over, but barely.
They were rough to begin with, and as I've warned you all before, though I can improve certain things in these remasters, I can also expose the weaknesses that much more as well, but the difference of bad vs. good is still on the profitable side.
NOTE: This will mark my turn to APE files. I've been a proponent of this compression scheme for a number of years now. It's a more musical compresser that was developed specifically for audio. It's decompressors for Winamp, WMP, Foobar, etc. sound better, and it can compress very close if not right into a 2-1 ratio. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
So, here they are, more of Billy's home madness...
