Q Lazzarus: Goodbye Horses Collection

TREON282
A collection of singles, b-sides and demos from Q Lazzarus.
 
Notes:
Diane Luckey (1960-2022), known professionally as Q Lazzarus. A mysterious singer who is most well-known for the song "Goodbye Horses," which featured first in the 1988 film Married To The Mob and then again (and most famously) in the 1991 film The Silence Of The Lambs. She has also contributed music to the films Philadelphia and Something Wild. To this day, not much is known about her or her backing band, but Goodbye Horses has become a cult classic.
 
This collections is made up of two singles; tracks found on the original 1991 12" Single and 2017 Goodbye Horses EP. Track four is taken from the compilation Retro:Active2 (Rare & Remixed) which was released in 2004. I far as I can tell this is the first time the Extended Version appeared on CD (it also featured on the soundtrack to Clarks II but not until 2006). It has a different sound to the source used for track one (I suspect track one is a remaster or a new source as it's the clearest version I've heard to date). Track four sounds like it may have been a rip from the 12" Single.

Tracklist:
01 - Goodbye Horses (Extended Version #1)
02 - Goodbye Horses (7'' Version)
03 - White Lines (B-side)
04 - Goodbye Horses (Extended Version #2)
05 - Goodbye Horses (Single Edit)
06 - Goodbye Horses (Demo 1)
07 - Goodbye Horses (Demo 2)
08 - Tears of Fear (Demo)
09 - Transformation (Demo)
10 - Love Dance (Demo)

The Verve: Live At Pinkpop Festival 1998

TREON281
The Verve perform live at Pinkpop Festival,  Landgraaf, Netherlands. 01.06.98.

Notes:
I originally uploaded a version of this performance back in 2020 as part of a Deluxe Edition of  The Urban Hymns Sessions but when I updated that post after finding a Flac version of the session tracks I removed the Pinkpop performance as I wasn't really happy with the sound quality. The removed version was edited together from two different sources; the first was the bootleg Pinkpop People (which contained only 9 of the 14 tracks) and the second was a download from the livebootlegconcert blogspot, which was complete but lacked the sound quality of the Pinkpop People bootleg. This week I was able to find a new source for the whole performance which is complete and sounds a lot better than previous versions.

Tracklist:
01 - This Is Music
02 - Space And Time
03 - Catching The Butterfly
04 - Sonnet
05 - The Rolling People
06 - Neon Wilderness
07 - Weeping Willow
08 - The Drugs Don't Work
09 - Lucky Man
10 - Life's An Ocean
11 - Velvet Morning
12 - Bitter Sweet Symphony
13 - History
14 - Come On
