I would agree that the solo makes the song but God, WHAT a solo. Maybe people would have criticized it for that, but anyone who appreciates great guitar work would have dug it. But yeah, it works on Pisces and certainly elevates that collection.

ya Starla works so well on Pisces i wouldn't even wish it to be on either of the first two "proper" studio albums
Pisces plays like an album anyway, and had a fuckin' radio hit on it, even |

as for Aeroplane - I really like how it's presented, but have attempted at sequencing it in some sort of "album listing" but was never quite happy with it. I'm sure someone's managed a listenable album-run of these songs but frankly, one MCIS-era double album is enough; i'm glad this was represented by EPs

I know they were singles, but TAFH box made a pretty damn cool box of EPs, each with their own mood, like billy had wanted.

i've seen so many of those EPs individually for (re-)sale at various record/entertainment shops and figured they must have been available that way at some point, cos it'd be kind of ridiculous to part with those EPs individually when you bought it as a set

or used media places didn't know wtf to do with the box or what it was and tossed them figuring the individual discs were more likely to sell

moreover, i've never seen any slighter version of any of those singles |

BWBW was originally only available 1 bside single. the extra tracks (all covers) were exclusive to the box
1979 was available in 3 different versions. 1 b-side (Netherlanda), 3-bsides (UK) & 5-bsides (netherlands & Germany) Tonight tonight. There was 2 versions of the UK single, each had 3 different bsides The Japanese and German versions had all 6 b-sides on 1 disk. zero - only sold as the full EP with all 6 b-sides 33 - same as TT, where the UK had 2 different singles. one with 3-bsides, one with 2 b-sides. but a 5-bside Japanese and Netherland version was available outside of the boxset. the UK singles were in those slim cases... |

I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to be a huge fan in 1996, walking into a record store and just discovering that Zero ep sitting on a shelf one day.

It was great. I was 12 years old and had all the albums already. A kid from the neighborhood had a copy of the Zero single and I couldn’t believe that there were 5 extra songs on it, that they were all kickass, and that the single had its own sound and aesthetic almost like a mini-album. Blew my mind.

Yeah, the Zero single is so good it feels like a mini album. Marquis in Spades is probably my favorite (Angel/Barbed wire/FUCK YOU/Desire!), and Mouths of Babes and God are also kickass. Tribute to Johnny is a fantastic jam, and Pennies is such a sweet little track. And of course, Zero itself is a classic. Pistachio is also fun, though I admit I've only listened to the whole thing once or twice.

What's your top 10 from TAFH? I was going to say top 5 but so many tracks are neck and neck. Here's mine; I excluded any of the actual singles because those are really part of MCIS.
1. Marquis in Spades 2. Jupiter's Lament 3. TAFH 4. Mouths of Babes 5. Rotten Apples 6. Pennies 7. Set the Ray to Jerry 8. The Last Song 9. The Boy 10. Clones (We're All) |

I tried to remember what pennies sounded like and it just merged into perfect, in my mind.
Unfortunately that makes it lame by association |
