Maybe it was something special to them, and now they're releasing it, it would kind of lose that feeling for them. That or they've hidden it cause they new they're earlier work was not their best, but I don't see that as the case, cause then they'd never release it then.
I know what you mean. The feeling that your not supposed to have the music is kind of what makes old tunes old tunes.

At this point, the box set of early material is looking 99% likely to happen. I say that because it hasn't been finally compiled yet. There's a big archive to get through, the obvious tracks that were on various demos and mixtapes given out to friends in the late eighties and early nineties, but also a huge amount of unreleased material that hasn't surfaced so far. There are hundreds of tracks for every year from say 1986 through to 1995, and then for every record BOC have released there are a mountain of tracks that didn't make it onto the record. So the time involved is the only issue from what I understand. There's been regular debate across here about what goes on them and in what order etc. But if you can be patient, these tracks will come out, and a whole lot you won't have heard yet too. Asides from that, let me just say once again for the record, there's a new album coming out first, and maybe more. No dates yet, but they are definitely coming.
are the pre-twoism releases (hooper bay, acid memories etc.) included in the material that's likely to be released in this box set?
yes, some of those tracks are likely to be included

This could mean that "Infinate lines of colourful sevens" is included.

I don't know for sure but I've got the feeling it's because some guy mentioned some about a box set and something about a new album... I can be wrong though so don't pin me down on it.

this topic has changed from being about a fake "acid memories" to being one of the more informative threads in a while!
