The wonderful Vinny Vero (in nanoseconds) worked out the following: all tracks are the proper single versions except Absolute, The Sweetest Girl, Jacques Derrida and Asylums in Jerusalem.

Nice review of the cd on Electronically Yours website on the following link: http://www.league-online.com/

Also follow the link to the So Hip It Hurts blog mentioned within for their review of Day Late And Dollar Short and some background regarding why some single tracks were not included. Interesting (if correct).

Crikey, the new songs and compilation are almost upon us. A huge thank you to everyone involved in this site, those who make it and those who contribute, for keep up-to-date with what’s going on and sharing the news. I’ve been out of the loop for ages (life takes over and drags one away) so thank you for keeping us informed.
I still remember when a group of us met up in London… was it 15 years ago?! I sadly missed the gigs a couple of years back. I hope there will be a gig soon so I can come along and say ‘hi’ to you all. Best wishes, Jame.

Justin B 02.18.11 / 11pm

Hey James, Im sure we used to chat in the late 90s .. and if so hi!!

Ale 02.19.11 / 12am

Hi James!I remember your wonderful Scritti site…there were very some good midi files like here come july, oh patti and umm…there’s a way to get them somewhere?!?…..

Neil Billinness 02.19.11 / 1pm

Hi James! Yip, I think it was indeed about fifteen years ago we met up, a few pubs in Camden? I think there was possibly another one afterwards that I missed out out on…. I remember being highly honoured when you included some of my artwork in your fanzine ! Cant BELIEVE you missed out on the gigs! Hope all well and life treating you good, Neil

pablo13 02.19.11 / 10pm

I know this is a “best of” collection, but i was vaguely hoping “a slow soul” (the non-album version) would be on this. I am desperate to hear this version again. I have the single on vinyl where it is the b side, but no means to hear it… :-(

OPTIMystic 02.20.11 / 11pm

@ pablo13
Hello, are you talking about this:

Matthijs 02.20.11 / 11pm

And now for something completely different: did any of you checked this one out already? http://www.youtube.com/user/Geeljasjes#p/u/0/XMszw6bK_As
I’d say well done!

allen 02.21.11 / 6am

Hey, did you know Green sings on a track on Chris Difford of Squeeze’s last solo album? The album is called Cashmere If You Can, and the song is “The Still and the Sparkling”

Jason 02.21.11 / 10am

Positive but disappointingly brief (2 sentences!) review in Q – gets 4 stars.

No associated article, interview or what not, so a low key release?

Matthijs 02.22.11 / 12pm

The original 12″ of Hypnotize included a long (vocal) version. Does anyone have the lyrics of that version? It contains some additional verses.

pablo13 02.27.11 / 4pm

@OPTIMystic – er, yes…sounds very similar, though i can’t recall the b-side version being a Peel session. Many thanks for the link. I prefer this tempo version than the album version. (Y)

James Lawrence 02.28.11 / 2pm

Sorry, don’t want to turn this into a chat thread–just wanted to say “hello” back to those who’d said “hello” to me. :-)
Yes, I did indeed have a fansite back in the 90s (gosh so long ago now?!), with a homepage based on The Word Girl artwork. And, yes, thank you for those contributions to the little fanzine I put together briefly. Crikey, that brings back memories. Yes, I do remember the artwork, Neil. Cool stuff.
Anyway, sorry for rambling on. Love and best wishes to you all. James.

TheMikeN 03.01.11 / 11pm

Yes, pablo13, the Asylums/Jacques D 12″ b-side version of A Slow Soul is the version from the Peel Session. I agree that it is the better version – more naturally hearfelt, I think.

That was “heartfelt” by the way. Sorry!
