Antrabata's Studio Sessions, 11cd

 

The Antrabata box contained all known outtakes at the time of its' release. The tapes used were not as good as they should have been. However, it's a remarkable attempt and a nice piece.

Midas Touch released Brutal Artistry immediately after Antrabata's box. It contains the Swan Song material (cds 2 & 3) plus more Physical Graffiti outtakes (on cd 3) that are not documented in Luis Rey's 1997 book.

Brutal Artistry II was released some time later giving us 8.5 minutes of more Physical Graffiti outtakes (on cd 1) that are not documented in Luis Rey's book. Unfortunately, it's second disc was entirely a repeat of most of BA's 3rd cd, but claims to be remastered.

TDOLZ's Sessions was released before BAII. This title presented 36 minutes of undocumented Battle of Evermore material (5 more mixes/takes). (The tracks released on these last three titles are in much improved quality over the Antrabata title, using clean, low generation stereo tapes.)

Empress Valley's Lost Mixes debuts new outtakes from the fourth album and Physical Graffiti.

The first two columns are the track number and the sub-track letter, if applicable. Any red text or green background means that I'm not entirely certain about the data and could use your help to identify properly.

I will not be reviewing every cd release of studio material. This information is just to help myself and others account for the vast amount of material.
