There was a version of the Peel Sessions made by the brothers in 1998 and given to friends. There are only 5 copies of this CD. IIRC the only person known to have one is DJ Food a known friend of the band who has produced two well-known mixes of Boards' songs. He recently released the second of these mixes which included material from Societas.

A strange comment on the YouTube video by Jadeite427:

After a bit of research it seems like this specific batch of tracks are the “bonus mystery tracks” included in rare pressings of the 1998 Peel Session CDs (which also included the Meat Beat remix).
Iirc the rip of “Finity” on here originally came out as “Track 07” on SoundCloud back in 2019 and, if the track listing is correct, then everything just checks out.
I’ve also read around that sources of the CD come from the 90s so likely pressed 1998-1999. It would also explain why the bonus “mystery” tracks still have bits of other tracks cross fading as BoC likely sourced from the original Old Tunes collections tapes instead of the original original sources.

Original tracklisting would have likely been:

Peel Session June 1998
1. Happy Cycling
2. Aquarius (Version 3)
3. Olson (Version 3)
4. XYZ
Meat Beat Manifesto remix August 1998
5. Prime Audio Soup (Vegetarian Soup By Boards Of Canada)
Bonus Mystery Tracks
6. Spectrum
7. Finity
8. Carcan
9. I Will Get It Tattooed
10. Sequoia
11. 5.9.78
12. BMX Track
13. Hiscroes
14. Alpha Rainbow
15. Northern Plastics
16. I Love My New Shears

its an interesting theory but is there any other proof of it other than some YouTuber possibly speculating?

I walk back my comments, it seems listening with proper headphones songs on this are much better than the 'best' of previous leaks. But I wasn't aware of 'A Few Old Tracks' one thats a bit of an oddity to me. Same with the 1996 Mixtape labeled leak.

The new version of BMX Track seems to be most mind blowing. Did they perhaps change that squeaky sample for Peel Session or were previous leaks actually that bad? Or both?

[belchmaster]

I love all of these but somehow I actually prefer the shitty version of 5.9.78. Need some time to adjust to this new level of clarity. Thank you anon and babylulu!

[everythingyoudoisorange]

I dunno soemthing still feels 'off' about babylulu being connected to all recent news / developments / leaks

Either the savviest fan in the world, or connections.

[aseagullinyourmind]

If this does come from the limited Peel
sessions CD, why not just say so?

[DILWeed]

source anonymity I imagine. it's not like 5 copies are very many, and the one mentioned in that comment may be the only copy with these bonus tracks

Whatever the case may be with babylulu can we not attack them and obsess over digging into who they are/what their source was?

I've been a BoC fan all my life and I get that we are desperate for news/action to come from the brothers, but this is helping nothing.

Let's take everything they've said so far at face value for a moment and stop looking into it any deeper; They've got a release from an anonymous source and shared it. Now not only is that anonymous source is looking at all this scrutiny and paranoia, babylulu is also exhausted dealing with all of this as well, I'm sure. Say another potential anonymous source also manages to connect with babylulu, I'm sure these conversations will run through their mind when they think over whether or not they should share that release, too.

A bit of context is all anyone is asking for. Literally zero information, Cannot blame anyone for wanting it.

We are a rightfully paranoid community, Seen enough fakery in our time so it should be no surprise we are skeptical and intrigued yet always hopeful

Being skeptical is one thing, but it doesn't justify harassing them over it.

[luminousdusk]

I'd say this is all very far from harassment

[Cupz]

Its probably not very complicated, I would have released this in a similar fashion if I stumbled upon some fresh tapes. If anything not having any cryptic bullshit around, or a huge sprawling post about how it was found, makes it more legit.

But yeah, 98% sure this is real now. Really amazing

Stated I could not care less who their source is, and specifically I don't need names / see the point there.
All I said was people have a right to be skeptical given all the previous fakes and hype out there and to desire more context. Obviously that isn't going to happen but that's fine.

Nobody is saying they aren't grateful.

Also worthy of pointing out babylulu is the last person to get a response from mdg a few years ago and that linked thread post.
They were even flattered I gave them more credit than they are probably owed for being responsible for 'behind the scenes' things so I doubt they themselves are upset by my posts.

Let's all take a chill pill.

It's also still worth scrutinizing whether these are Peel Session bonus tracks, other than that random YouTube post reply, I don't think I've ever heard that theory before. Doesn't mean it can't be true, but sounds off is all.

“zero information” is a HUGE stretch. i’ve provided everything i can. no reason to be skeptical of this leak, it’s real

[luminousdusk]

Im not saying it isn't

Not exactly... I PM'ed him last year about the old P.O. box address and got a response.

These two are the only photos that I am aware of this CD. Same source of the Finity "Track 07" soundcloud upload.

Thank you baby Lulu for sharing with everyone.

I think everyone should look at it like this :

Imagine if a steward of the band or a musician who was close to them
offered to share unreleased music with you.
The sole reason ... for you to distribute to the community.
Only catch, the original source stays anonymous.

What kind of person would you be to go against that request and disrespect someone's privacy.

We should all be able to understand that

Cheers LuLu lemon
