Deep Blue / Bangla Desh / Miss O'Dell

[darkhorse]

So... Living In The Material World is coming out re-released, remastered and with a small DVD of performances, plus two bonus tracks: "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell".

Did we ever discuss these two? I think we did.

Not-so-long ago I bought the LITMW CD without bonus tracks and with a very 'foggy' mix which tended to hide the songs. Also the booklet was nearly impossible to read due to the small fonts used.

So I'm glad they're re-releasing it.

"Deep Blue" must be one of those songs that are always discussed in terms of their lyrics but not in what is regarding the actual music made there. It's an ironic song, in my view, because even though he uses acoustic guitar tones that remind one of "For You Blue" (the fabulous "happy blues" if there ever was any) but his words are really 'down' as he remarks when he discusses the track. Apparently it was written about his mother's death due to cancer: "his song "Deep Blue" (which appeared as a 1971 single B-side) came from his hospital visits to her, and his awareness of the pain and suffering all around", says Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Harrison). It's quite moving and I hope we get a good sounding version of this.

"Miss O'Dell" is an irony to me because it has to be among my favorite George Harrison tunes. No, really. I love the melody, George's vocal (even if he's in the verge of laughing in the middle of the song), the cool arrangements a-la All Things Must Pass, and especially, the Dylanesque way of relating the story... this song is gold, and it's sad that it's become such an obscure B-side.

I wonder which version are we going to be getting? The "laughing" or the "non-laughing" one? Which one did originally come in the Give Me Love 45"?

I was expecting "Bangla Desh" also to appear here. It's from the same time than "Deep Blue" (actually the A side to that single), it was a big hit. And George never liked the Best of George Harrison compilation that much. Now we're forced to buy it if we want the studio version of "Bangla Desh". Although I'm very open to admit that I kind of like the live version (on The Concert For Bangla Desh, especially now that's been wonderfully restored) better. It's a great song, one of the few solo tunes in which George comes closer to what critics know as "rock".

What do you think about these songs?

[twovirgins]

I used to have the 45 and I always loved "deep blue" I could Imagine him playing it on the Uke!

[Asha]

So... Living In The Material World is coming out re-released, remastered and with a small DVD of performances, plus two bonus tracks: "Deep Blue" and "Miss O'Dell".
...
I wonder which version are we going to be getting? The "laughing" or the "non-laughing" one?

What do you think about these songs?

First off, I really enjoy all the songs. I'm so glad this CD is being re-released & of course, I always love the bonus tracks. I'm curious about the DVD performances! I'm so glad we get these "extras"!

I like "Deep Blue" although I can't say it one of my top faves. You're right... it is sort of a "happy blues".

"Miss O'Dell"! Just to hear that song makes me laugh. I know it's because of the "laughing version". It just sounds like they had so much fun doing that number. I'm curious how it will sound on the re-release as well.

I had the 45 way back when (it's long gone now) but I remember it was the laughing version that was on the B-side of the 45. It was always one of my favorite songs, because of the laughing. I can't help but laugh myself when I hear it. I'm hoping that's the version that will be included.

[Ringo77]

Not-so-long ago I bought the LITMW CD without bonus tracks and with a very 'foggy' mix which tended to hide the songs. Also the booklet was nearly impossible to read due to the small fonts used.

All too true.

[beatlebangs1964]

I have those songs as well and love them both. What wonderful news about the re-release of this CD. "Miss O'Dell" is a delightful foray into musical humor. As for "Deep Blue," which I also enjoy, but is not a favorite strikes me in an interesting way. To me, it is the subject inverse of "Unknown Delight." One mourns the death of a parent and the other rejoicesi n the birth of a child.

[FPSHOT]

Thanks darkhorse for bringing this up. The acoustic Bsides are within my favorite George songs. I love it when George playes these acooustic tunes and therefor am so grateful for all the bootlegs of which now some have reached the first box set.

Deep Blue is an ironic tune indeed. The lyrics are clear and sad about a personal tragedy he faced. Yet when I listen to the music, I hear a very cheerful tune which is so different than the other sad songs George had quite some of for instance on Extra Texture which in music and lyrics put down an atmosphere.

Deep Blue however has this cheerful summer-ish sound... which makes me think of a Kinks "Sunny Afternoon" kind of song or one of the cheerful Donovan ones. Where you will expect him to sing about a nice day in the garden or so.

George plays as far as I can hear two acoustic guitars and a dobro. One acoustic playes the basic melody and the other one does the cheery and high intervals mainly. Then you hear the bluesy dobro which he used on Living In The Material World. Those who have the demo of Sue Me Sue You Blues with the dobro only like he is in a smokey 1930's New Orleans bar, will recognise a bit of that sound here how he plays the dobro.

Klaus Voormann is on bass and Jim Keltner on drums.

It is a fantastic song and I am really happy with the original release now. I have it for years already as a B side single and on quite some bootlegs, but to have it on LITMW is a gift for George fans.

Miss O'Dell (Chris from the Apple office team) is also a very nice tune with these nice tempo changes and the funny lyrics which were about the war and about a very real broken record player in a house he rented in LA and indeed there was a Ben who could not fix it.

I love the percussion here and the mouth organ (George words for a harmonica)

It starts a bit like Apple Scruffs with the guitars...but then goes it's own route with quite some instrumentation. Yeah quite a pity that till now it did not get an official release apart from the single record and ofcourse the various bootlegs.

Amazing with this song is the two (at least) versions, the laughing one and the non-laughing one. I can never not-laugh with the laughing one...you just gotta laugh along LOL... so maybe the story of the laughs will be included in the booklet.

Give Me Love - the single - has the non-laughing version. I had it for years till I started downloading bootlegs and found out about the other one.

When there was still Napster and the other big one...it was always a surprise which version would show up if you d/l it. Because there was a third one which later appeared to be just the single version played somewhat faster.

Klaus and Jim are the other musicians on this song.

Bangla Desh... for some reason I do not see it fitting right on this or any other album apart from maybe a next compilation which has the approval of the Harrisons, or an Anthology album(s).

I also very much prefer the one and only time this song was played live by George. I get shivers still after 35 years when I play it, especially the part when George leaves stage, the public goes bananas and the band does this sensational grand finale.

[darkhorse]

Tehee... I always loved the fact that it was a true story! :laugh5:

Give Me Love - the single - has the non-laughing version.
Shall we do a survey, then? :wink1: Twovirgins and Starreyed say they had the 45 with the laughing version in it.

In any case, where does the other version come from?


Bangla Desh... for some reason I do not see it fitting right on this or any other album apart from maybe a next compilation which has the approval of the Harrisons, or an Anthology album(s).

But it actually fits with the era; if they decided to include "Deep Blue" which was the B-side. I also think they are preparing a compilation thing for the future, when they end up re-releasing George's albums from the Apple years - as they only have Dark Horse and Extra Texture left... (as "albums of songs" as George called them, Wonderwall Music was instrumental and Electronic Sound was, well, noise).

Nevertheless I will be very happy if some obscure songs get revamped with these reissues... Things like "Sat Singing", "Lay His Head", "Mo"... or even "Poor Little Girl", "Cockamamie Business", "Cheer Down", the impossible-to-enumerate outtakes form ATMP, the 'unused Brainwashed material' including "Valentine" and "Bonzo Dog"... "Shelter In Your Love"...

So let's be patient about it.

I feel bad because in the last week I've killed about four threads. I think this post will kill this one as well. :wink1:

[Legs]

Don't worry, let me do the honour.

I also wonder how the Apple albums will be re-released. As you said there are only two proper studio albums left, not enough for a box set. Perphaps "Wonderwall Sound" and "Electronic Music" will be included afterall.

Shall we do a survey, then? Twovirgins and Starreyed say they had the 45 with the laughing version in it.In any case, where does the other version come from?

Maybe the other version is the finished version, but then George decided to release the laughing one for fun. I never knew for sure which version was on the single, and I will forget it again if I haven't read this thread for awhile.

[FPSHOT]

The laughing version of Miss O'Dell is an outtake recorded during rehearsals for the song and later appeared on bootlegs, whereas the version which became the B-side is the serious one :smile1: sorry to be stubborn maybe..

Who knows..maybe that Elvis thing gave some people a thought to put it on bootlegs.

The laughing one WAS the b-side. I have it in the closet somewhere, the actual vinyl 45. I never heard the 'serious' one until a few years ago on one of the boots.

[friar-park]

It's possible that the laughing one was the b-side in the US and the non-laughing was used in other countries, hence the different memories of the 45.

[Legs]

Could be, and Simon Leng comfirms what I was thinking, that George deliberatly choose to release the laughing version instead of the "giggle-free take that has surfaced through yet another stray acetate". But that might sugest that the laughing version was released all over the world.

FPSHOT you might have an unique single?

[FPSHOT]

Or a bad memory....or both :laugh2:

I have so much George material.. you guys may be very right... my record player's broken .. in a closet... and I have no Ben either so I can't check the original single (yet) yet the bootlegs I have refer to the single version as being the serious one.

Either way is fine with me...it is a great song that is the major issue...laughing or non-laughing...

[FPSHOT]

I checked a few books, like Eight Arms Two Hold U and I guess I was wrong about the Dell song, it also refers to the laughing version as the single one and not the straight one, so sorry folks.

[Legs]

The confusion might also comes from the bootleg we both have, "B sides George". It says to have the B. side version, but it includes the non laughing one.

[FPSHOT]

Exactly, also other bootlegs have that description for the Miss.

[darkhorse]

At least we've cleared the mystery and we'll be getting all the laughter in the LIMTW remastered CD.

[Ringo77]

Are the rest of the albums going to be available seperately as well, like they did the Dark Horse set?

[ABCKO]

At least we've cleared the mystery and we'll be getting all the laughter in the LIMTW remastered CD.

... why not just have BOTH versions of the song, as bonus tracks, on it ?

[BeatleGuy]

Maybe the laughing version was just released in the USA. I remember hearing that George's sister requested he release the laughing version to show the lighter side of himself.

[FPSHOT]

... why not just have BOTH versions of the song, as bonus tracks, on it ?

would be cool yeah...but...it would lead to sad discussions afterwards why two of the Miss and not the fantastic bottleneck guitar demo of Sue Me Sue You Blues or any other demo of the album songs which are on bootlegs...

"you can't please everyone...but ... you can at least try"

[FPSHOT]

Maybe the laughing version was just released in the USA. I remember hearing that George's sister requested he release the laughing version to show the lighter side of himself.

Cool, now I get optimistic again about my single version, sorry darkhorse :smile1:

[darkhorse]

... why not just have BOTH versions of the song, as bonus tracks, on it ?

Well they COULD have six or seven bonus tracks if we consider the possible studio outtakes (I'm just guessing here folks) that must exist from the songs. As far as I know there's the dobro demo of "Sue Me Sue You Blues", the instrumental "Try Some Buy Some" and alternate mixes of "Give Me Love" to begin with.

But I think there's going to be just one "Miss O'Dell" in the re-release.

Heck, we should just do a poll or something. Which version of "Miss O'Dell" do you think is going to appear in the remastered Living in the Material World CD?

[darkhorse]

Well...

Link to Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tracks/B000HIVQK8/ref=dp_tracks_all_1/102-4131014-1130530?ie=UTF8#disc_1)

Disc 2 will feature whatever "other" "Miss O'Dell"... probably the non-laughing one; and also an "acoustic demo" version of "Sue Me Sue You Blues"; plus a live version of "Give Me Love" (it says "previously unreleased", but wasn't it on Live in Japan anyway? I'm too lazy to check :wink1:) and "Living in the Material World"... I'm guessing this one is an alternate version?

Quite cool waiting process. :wink1:

[ABCKO]

... a second disc... for FOUR tracks ?

Why not just tack them on the first disc ?

[darkhorse]

I think the second one's also a small DVD. Also if you look at the packaging stuff it seems like one of those deluxe things.

Now, whether I think it's fair; when all of that could easily fit in just one CD, is another subject.

In other words I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Nope, according to the picture and info, it seems to be TWO CD's and one DVD.

... look at the pic, the two CD's are still in the case, proper, where as the DVD(as is usually the case) is in that seperate cardboard slip-case.

As I said... FOUR tracks for one disc ?

''Living in the Material World'' indeed !

[FPSHOT]

So nice to jump to conclusions.

Most people know about the Sue Me Sue You Blues demo version which is obviously the dobro/bottle neck one... we also get the two Miss O'Dell versions and maybe the LITMW version from the main bootleg album.

Take "Ringo".. new versions were released with some singles and B-sides which were known to everyone... some "Paul" albums were re-released with one or two additional tracks which were just B-sides or single records added to albums for some weird reason.

Why not just wait for the whole package?

It's NOT about ''jumping to conclusions'', it's about commenting on what facts we have at this time...

... and if THAT'S ''wrong'' or ''bad'', then I submit to you that a great number of threads on this site should be closed...

But back to this release...

Because, the info at amazon.com (among other sites) seems pretty complete at this time and it would be quite unsual for them to say that this release will have A, B and C on it... and then, in less than a month, surprise... it is a triple edition CD, with 27 tracks in all.

I mean, they even the track listings posted...

And, just in case... it's not a matter of wanting them to add sooo much more stuff on the new release of the album... but rather that to have an extra CD just for four tracks is ridiculous and that will hike up the cost of the set for no good reason, as there's more than enough room to fit the four songs on the first CD.

Try this... look at all your CD's, both ''official'' releases and those home-burned and imagine all the extra cost and space it would have meant if you could only have four tracks per CD.

Heck, just the White Album would be a 7 or 8 CD set !

And on top of not making sense, and putting the price up, think of anyone who has a single CD type of CD player ?

P.S.: Nothing so very ''weird'' about the extra songs on those Paul and Ringo releases, most of the extra tracks pertained directly to those said albums and had yet to be released on CD at that point.

[Legs]

The way it's listed it looks like the second disc is the Dvd.
With disc 1 containing the two mentioned bonus tracks.

[FPSHOT]

Yep... it's all been done before

[Legs]

plus a live version of "Give Me Love" (it says "previously unreleased", but wasn't it on Live in Japan anyway?

Hope it's from a different concert, and not the same as used on Live in Japan.

[FPSHOT]

There were various concerts in Japan and the Live CD from Japan therefore has only one, whereas there are more, so they will probably have picked out a nice one to please us.

[Legs]

But since it's on the dvd it doesn't really matter if it's the same version as Live in Japan. We do have the audio but nothing visual.

[Ringo77]

Will this also be available as a jewel case version?

[Legs]

I don't know, but you can always buy a seperate jewel case and put the cd in it.

[ABCKO]

The way it's listed it looks like the second disc is the Dvd.
With disc 1 containing the two mentioned bonus tracks.

... again... have a look...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/tracks/B000HIVQK8/ref=dp_tracks_all_1/102-4131014-1130530?ie=UTF8#disc_1

On the right and on the left, you see two CD's in the case, and in the middle, out of the case, in the seperate carboard slip-case, the DVD

Also, look at the track listings... the four extra bonus tracks are listed as being on ''Disc 2''.

[FPSHOT]

... again... have a look.... the four extra bonus tracks are listed as being on ''Disc 2''.

Maybe you haven't seen the two bonus tracks on CD disc one. Disc two is not a CD but a DVD.

Amazon is just a bad source (in this case) , so that is why it was suggested to wait and see. The official George Harrison site has now launched the right information which you can find here

http://www.recordstore.co.uk/gharrison/

The normal CD and Vinyl Album have two additional songs; Miss O'Dell and Deep Blue.

The Limited Edition CD/DVD has the following content

CD

1. Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
2. Sue Me, Sue You Blues
3. The Light That Has Lighted The World
4. Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
5. Who Can See It
6. Living In The Material World
7. The Lord Loves The One (That Loves The Lord)
8. Be Here Now
9. Try Some Buy Some
10. The Day The World Gets 'round
11. That Is All
12. Deep Blue
13. Miss O'Dell

DVD

1. Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Live At Tokyo Dome)
2. Miss O'Dell (Alternative Version)
3. Sue Me, Sue You Blues (Acoustic Demo Version)
4. Living In The Material World
5. Material World Charitable Foundation (incl. Don't Let Me Wait Too Long')

As announced by Parlophone and also by Olivia Harrison, there is DVD filming footage, which is what the DVD is about. So it all looks mighty fine to me and according to the official announcements.

[Legs]

Again have a look. As you can see Amazon says, 1 cd and 1 dvd. Not two cd's.
There is one cd and one dvd in the case, and in the middle the booklet.



... again... have a look...

Also, look at the track listings... the four extra bonus tracks are listed as being on ''Disc 2''.

[FPSHOT]

Yes, so probably what is reffered to on the DVD as "Living In The Material World is the mini-feature edited from film commissioned by George in 1973 of the
album's production in Britain and America.

[darkhorse]

Again have a look. As you can see Amazon says, 1 cd and 1 dvd. Not two cd's.
There is one cd and one dvd in the case, and in the middle the booklet.

*Sigh* That's what I've been saying since I posted that link... :rolleyes:

I still wonder why are the alternate versions of "Miss O'Dell" and "Sue Me Sue You Blues" in the DVD... perhaps they will "create" special videos for them with footage from the time?

In that case, why creating videos for alternate songs? Wouldn't it be more interesting if, say, they had created a video with 1971-73 George footage and make it fit to "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long"?

It's not complaining, it's just questioning. Einstein said "the most important thing is to never stop making questions". :wink1:

[FPSHOT]

It's not complaining, it's just questioning. Einstein said "the most important thing is to never stop making questions". :wink1:

We all have our expectations from the love we have for George ....and for his music ..... and that manifests in different ways....

I think we all seek for that which is coming.... with high expectations.... whereas whatever is coming in the future ....most of it will be from the past...but still new...and worthwhile for the future

Einstein also said "I never think of the future - it comes soon enough"

[FPSHOT]

Now let's have a B L A S T with this re-release and all the additional stuff which is coming to us !!!!

[FPSHOT]

In that case, why creating videos for alternate songs? Wouldn't it be more interesting if, say, they had created a video with 1971-73 George footage and make it fit to "Don't Let Me Wait Too Long"?

That is maybe a bit of what will be in it... and yeah there has been talks from Olivia and Dhani where they memorised that George was often walking around with a video camera....

I'd love to see things from that.

[ABCKO]

Maybe you haven't seen the two bonus tracks on CD disc one. Disc two is not a CD but a DVD.

As announced by Parlophone and also by Olivia Harrison, there is DVD filming footage, which is what the DVD is about. So it all looks mighty fine to me and according to the official announcements.

In which case there's only ONE version of "Miss O'dell" per say on the set, as, after, a few viewings, most people will put a CD on much more often than a DVD, especially when wanting to just "listen" to a song.

[Legs]

So you were wrong about the two cd's?

[darkhorse]

Look at it from the other side: I was right. :wink1:

[FPSHOT]

Yeah you were :smile1:

I have now seen this little footage of the album pressing in the UK and USA which is quite nice to see..however sure I would have loved to see that with footage from George or about George.

But still...I want to really see all of what is in the package first...and then conclude. There are always these little surprises...

And yes...also I would like to have the songs on a CD...but like said before...when we talk about Miss O'Dell and Sue Me Sue You Blues, I can add quite some more things like the various versions of the songs which have appeared on bootlegs like a beautiful one of "That Is All" and the amazing instrumental of "The Day The World Gets Round" or the demo of "The Light That Has Lighted The World".

[Legs]

Those who are so keen on getting it can pick up the bootleg? ;-)

I wouldn't mind more things, those dvd's that comes with those combined releases are almost always very short. I would like to see some footage of George recording the album, if it exists in the first place, and a lot more. But I guess that's just what it is some nice little extra stuff to add.

There could have been more bonus tracks, there is more around, and to those who collect bootlegs there isn't any "new" material like with the previous box set.
And I was just listening to my vinyl version of "Living In The Material World" and it sounds excelent, my 1991 cd version of the album does to. But perhaps the new release will sound even better. And there is the dvd to look forward to.

Still I am looking forward to this release.

[Legs]

Look at it from the other side: I was right. :wink1:

I think most of us knew you were right :wink2:

[FPSHOT]

There could have been more bonus tracks, there is more around, and to those who collect bootlegs there isn't any "new" material like with the previous box set.

I fully agree having bootlegs is part of beig a Beatles fan. Even John Lennon collected bootlegs and exchanged them with Beatles fans. He said "every artist should start worrying if people will not release or buy bootlegs anymore"

So indeed, apart from the DVD filming, there will be nothing new to me on this release apart from possible polishing up of the original songs.

Still, I am very anxious on getting it.

[beatlebangs1964]

And so am I. Bootlegs are a bonus part of being a Beatle fan.

[Ringo77]

And I was just listening to my vinyl version of "Living In The Material World" and it sounds excelent, my 1991 cd version of the album does to.

I think the 1991 CD sounds horrible. The mix is so foggy and muffled. I looking forward very much to hearing this one remastered.

To me, the DVD doesn't sound like that big of a deal. I think I'll just get the single CD version.

[FPSHOT]

To me, the DVD doesn't sound like that big of a deal. I think I'll just get the single CD version.

You will miss out all the addititional stuff, but ... to each his own

[darkhorse]

There's always the budgetary restriction that people seem to forget when they sell these things... that's my bit of complaint.

[Legs]

Usually over here these kind of cd-dvd combi stuff sell for little more then a normal cd. So here it least, it would make more sense to buy the deluxe edition.

[darkhorse]

Over here they charge you as if it were a double CD. So you kinda think about it.

[Legs]

Yes, but who do you blame, who are those people that are forgetting the budgetary restriction.

[darkhorse]

The people who sell the stuff, of course.

[Legs]

The people sell them for different prices.

[FPSHOT]

I think it is good to have a look around...I see often people tend do rush to Amazon but there are others like this one

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=93;-1;-1;-1&sku=556665

Us Dutch are best at comparing prices before we buy LOL...but we are lucky that prices here are quite low.

[ABCKO]

The people sell them for different prices.

... just as long as they don't pull a ''Ringorama'' on you guys ! LOL *

* i.e.: Release this set and, say six months from now, release the exact same thing but with three new songs and extra DV features on it...

I bet you my complete Roy Orbison collection - excluding Wilburys ofcourse - that they won't, nor with any other upcoming release or re-release.

Even the quality of this one again is that you can just make a choise as to what you buy.

Okay I have it now, and have listened and will admit I made a mistake aboot Miss O'Dell, indeed the song which is added to the 'album' now is the laughing version and the one on the dvd - the alternative - is the...serious one :smile1: ...but when you will look at the film which goes along with that song you will see that there was not much serious during the making of the filming lol...OMG it is toooooo funny

Okay I have it now...

I thought it was being released on the the 26th ?

[FPSHOT]

"In Stores September 26th" that is correct. I just did not get it in a store....

[Legs]

The people sell them at various dates.

[FPSHOT]

Dutch have always been creative....

Released on the 26th....means impo...the average store will start selling it whislt they have had it in a week before probably.....however if you do know where you're going...

We - Legs and I - are just lucky with this special address.

Thank You Capitol/Apple or who ever will releases for putting Miss O'Dell on there and preventing me from having to buy the old, scratchy 45! (http://www.microgrooverecords.com/instock_EPs33s45sPSs.php?thumb=btlgh45sThumb%2Fbtl gh45s1_4.gif&group=btlsolo45s)
