The dvd from the box set but as blu ray ?
Right... I can finally talk about this now.

There was more scope for this project than Sparkle In The Rain or Once Upon A Time as there was more material in the Universal archive. There was a set of monitor mixes from May 1982 (probably the final recordings from The Vibe Factory sessions) and also a set of roughs. Both sets of recordings were mostly instrumentals (as Jim didn’t record any vocals until the final Townhouse sessions) but the arrangements and content were close to the final album; so they’d prepared well for the final recording at The Townhouse.
Each track was formally recorded and committed to tape in August and September 1982. Walsh didn’t trim the tracks; I think the idea was to keep longer versions for potential 12” releases. Two versions were recorded; a vocal take and instrumental. Then Walsh edited down the tracks to fit on the album. Therefore the “Full Duration Mixes” on CD #5 are these full length versions.
Charlie used these as guides when he produced the DVD-Audio edition of 2005. That’s why many of the tracks on the DVD-Audio are extended and slightly different. So you’ll be getting the original, stereo mixes of these full length tracks for the first time.
Glittering Prize [Full Duration Mix] is missing as that was simply commercially released as the Club Mix. Also New Gold Dream [Full Duration Mix] is very close to the German 12” Remix but features an extra verse at the end. I’d already put King Is White And In The Crowd [Full Duration Instrumental] on CD #2 (it was the basis of the rather mangled Touch Tape instrumental) so the Monitor Mix from May 1982 was used instead.
Promised You A Miracle [Long] is a slightly different version of the track which was intended for the album. It’s got extra percussion over the end – perhaps Mike or Mel were asked to “beef” it up a little. It wasn’t used in the end.
In Every Heaven [Early Version] is a very, very basic demo with just a looped vocal. It’s completely different from the final song.

> have the dvd-a alternate version tracks?
Yes - the DVD and BluRay both include the 2005 DVD-Audio version of the album. (Both have In Every Heaven as a bonus). DVD also includes the promo videos and Top Of The Pops appearances.
> any chance of the 10min plus 'new gold dreams'?
I don't think it exists. Sweeting says that the track ran for over 10 minutes and Walsh edited it down for the album. Well, he edited down the Full Duration Mix and that lasts for over 7 minutes only. And I went through almost every tape in the archive for this one and couldn't find it.
> the instrumental versions of king is white and in the crowd (that
> they used to play before concerts) touch tape version
Yes - that's included.
> Promised You A Miracle 3:59 [Edit]
Yes - that's included.
> Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) canadian promo edit
The A&M US edit is included. When the track listing was compiled there was no room for the SSIS Canadian remix edit. Things shuffled around whilst everything was being compiled, so there was room in the end, but at that point it was too late.
All the best,
Simon

The John Peel sessions were taken from a bootleg recording - so the quality isn't as good as the others. It was felt that something was better than nothing, so they have been included. Charlie enjoyed them though. (BBC can't find the recordings - but I think that's because the session took place in May - not February - so perhaps everyone was looking in the wrong place).
