Original pre-release Vitalogy

Post by Anders »

Saw the Dave A interview today, and found quite fascinating his comments on the Vitalogy he was part of making.

Does anyone know more on this original version (demo?) of Vitalogy?

There were tapes included in the “Cockage tapes” that are not at all interesting. Simply a different running order and without the weird instrumental tracks
Was HtI included?

Interesting that "Out of My Mind" appears on one of the early tracklists -- unless they're just reference tapes that don't reflect proposed tracklistings, but rather just a collection of songs slated for release in some format.

No Immortality on this one either.

It's hard to fathom a May 94 Vitalogy not having Immortality.

That's due to it having the intro that is associated with Betterman on the released version of Vitalogy....

works way better with STBC (imo)

Good suggestion and you're probably right.

That feedback intro on the record is around 23 seconds long, so that's pretty close (if not exact).

It's hard to imagine (no pun intended) how it fits in with STBC.
