VOODOO (2375) | Finally a CLEAN copy of “Red Zone” (aka “Act Like it Hurts”) These are just amazing. Listening to the evolution of “Dance the Night Away” is so cool. I’m just about half way through the files now. I didn’t get them until this morning and I had to work. I love the raw recording of Eruption, too. All of the experimentation of layering vocals, Dirty Movies scratch track with Ed noodling over the track…I’ll have to listen to these a dozen times to remember all of the highlights. I can’t say enough about this file drop. Thank you to WHOEVER decided to release these and not charge the fans. VOODOOQuote |

wjamflan (1113) | I agree Scott. I played those first 5 takes of Dance The Night Away for my wife earlier today, and even she got how cool it was to hear the evolution. We can finally hear what Eddie was talking about with the original arrangement. It’s amazing to finally hear. Knowing that all of this exists makes me wish the band would have put together a box set or multiple box sets to document it all. For now, I will take this because it is stunningly great. Hopefully, more will come to light….. “This hamburger don’t need no helper.” – DLR 5/17/15 wjamflanQuote |

VOODOO (2375) | Al and Wolf will never release this stuff. We’re going to have to rely on collectors and “investors”. VOODOOQuote |

VOODOO (2375) | I kinda like “…and that’s your bottom line” over “The best part of a man” in The Full Bug. VOODOOQuote |

PT5150 (6290) | Amazing stuff thanks heaps Dutchie. Hopefully someone has saved all this before it’s all taken down.. I’d love all this on CDs to crank through decent speakers.. EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”. PT5150Quote |

VOODOO (2375) | The page won’t let me click to quote you Jorge, but I think this is all coming from Noel’s estate sale. Just a hunch. VOODOOQuote |

VOODOO (2375) | I’m so disconnected from the boot collecting, I didn’t even look at the fact that we have the master ’77 WB demos here. Unreal. Are they all here? Pristine? How did I miss this? I was listening in the car back and forth to work and I thought, “I’ve heard this version before?” Duh… I’m so out of touch. VOODOOQuote |

jorge (454) | Just a funny note but I relistened to Part 3 of the 1980 Jan Obrecht interview and realised that at the 4:30 mark Ed actually mentions “Red Zone” as a cut that didn’t make it to the album. jorgeQuote |
