@Elbow: Elbow announce the b-side collection 'Dead In The Boot'. Out Monday 27th August on CD, vinyl + download. Pre-order here http://t.co/WgF79WOy

Taken their time getting this togther mind! This was first talked about on Powerderblue as Das Boot way back, must have circa 2005 or something when it was gonna come out on V2...

What chance a Live album next?! #wishfulthinking

Here's hoping.

Did I hear correctly that Jodrell Bank got filmed/recorded?
Not sure whether I'm making that up or not but perhaps that's on the cards next

Im not sure, but its not the first time i've heard their gigs being filmed and for nothing to happen... be it Brixton Academy many many* years ago, thru to the Bridgewater Hall or MEN gigs... nowt ever seems to happens.

*i appreciate that the Brixton gig did make it to film, but only one song in a film i doubt many people saw... :-S

.
There was an official tweet about it.
Jodrell Bank to be released as a live dvd, so that seems pretty definite.

*back on topic*

Ok folks, the discussion starts here: what are the glaring omissions or what would you like to have seen on it?

Oh, haha, forgot to say:
I would have liked to have seen 'Our Little Boat' on it and 'My Finger'

I posted my dream running order a while back, trying to make something cohesive that ran for close to 80 minutes.

I put together a Winamp playlist of the tracks, and it's fine. I thin I would have liked "Working Class Hero," "About Time," and "Hotel Istanbul," but I'm happy with this.

Like!

It's a strange name for an album, don't you think? Where does it come from?

Guy Garvey's sister coined it. It matches to "Asleep in the Back." Instead of sleeping in the back seat of the car, there's something dead in the trunk.

Ah OK! Thank's for the info.
Still it's strange. *lol*

I would have liked to have seen 'Hotel Istanbul', 'George Lasooes The Moon' 'The Drunken Engineer', 'The Good Day' and 'Ticker Tape'.

I still think that this is a good track listing though, and i've already pre-ordered it

Im either very slow or just daft, (probably the latter), but I have just understood 'dead in the boot' as in Asleep in the Back, I was thinking "boot" as in footwear

I concur totally mate with that list that I'd have liked included.

Really happy it's seen the light of day and LOVE the album cover - the original elbow font is back !

*sigh* Not to be a negative Nancy but...half of those (1, 3, 8, 9, 12, at least) are already on fairly common international releases of some sort. Which doesn't jive with Guy's comment that this is stuff that's only seen in the UK (per the NME article).

And what's a b-sides album without 'Hotel Istanbul' or 'Loss'?

Definitely getting this! Would have liked to see About Time and Ticker Tape on it as well, especially the latter, but hopfully it has a coherent flow. George Lassoes the Moon was released on the deluxe verison of Asleep in the Back not so long ago, wasn't it?

A live version of it was. The Noisebox EP version was not.

concur with that, defo would prefer to see Ticker Tape, drop for Mcgreggor for it my humble one (was that on the leaders dvd?)...

Concerning George Lassoes the Moon: I was sure it was on there, but I only see the live version on there now. It's on the other version of the Noisebox EP I have, though.

I'm just really glad "Lay Down Your Cross" is on it. I love that song so much.

Me too!!!

Hello everybody peeps ! Be nice to have some elbow filling prior to next album.
Hope you all are doing well :-)

Well, it has McGreggor and The Long War Shuffle so I'm happy

ha - never knew that! Nice!

I would've liked to have seen 'Stumble' on there and maybe 'Live On My Mind' but the inclusion of 'Snowball', 'Love Blown Down' and 'The Long War Shuffle' (to name but three) more than makes up for it...
