Hi all..... =jb= checking in.....
I couldn't find whether or not this question is answered on this forum or if it's all common knowledge (minue me), so I'll ask and risk the smack-down....
Why the song order change on PPOTA, original release vs. the 1-2-3 box set?
It drives me nuts everytime I see it...like putting in PPOTA in my cd-rom, and the auto lookup wants to give the wrong (err, revised) song order.
Anyone? Anyone? ("Bueller?")
Thanks.....

Well, thanks everyone for looking at this post...anyone have answers? Theories? Was it something that just happened, did someone think the order was better, or ???

I think it just got mixed up on the disc by mistake and no one caught it until it was too late.

Hey BD! Never thought of *that* one, that it was a mistake...I've tried to listen to the newer order, and it just doesn't flow like the first order. Thanks for your post!
P.s. I know this is for another thread, I'm sure, but has/will anything surface(d) about the Strawmen/77s show in Eugene this past July?

I had to make a CDR with the correct order because it didn't sound right to play it in the wrong order.

I've been wondering the same thing lately....
I'll shoot an email off and see if anyone knows something.

Thanks BD! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way about the song order. That's the only reason why I even posted it...I think the original order flows *way* better than the other.

We've heard nothing about that show since it happened.
Mike might know how the footage and recording went.

oops, I forgot about this thread.
I got an email from Steve and he said they haven't had time to do much with it yet...
so that's where it's at.
I'm going to assume it will be buried for a long time... that's just they way things work out sometimes. I know, I've got stuff that like that too.
if nothing happens in the next couple of years, I can always make copies of the very crappy single shot from the back of the room out of focus overexposed poor sound quality missing a song or two footage that I have... probably not.
it's that bad
Steve did mention that what he has viewed looked pretty good so far. Hopefully out of 20+ tapes and the audio from Steve's laptop, they can at least come up with something. Even if it's only a few songs.

It's funny about perceptions... I never heard PPOTA until I got the 1-2-3 box set. So I've never heard it any other way. It sounds great to me... I thought they just had the songs labelled wrong!

Turn her around so that she's facing the other direction and all will become clear.

rest easy good doctor... my copy of ppota (from 123) is just as my vinyl - track order is in perfect order - and then the lovely bonus tracks.

yes...
it is All fall Down that we are talking about here even if we keep referring to it as PPOTA.
we knew one of them was screwed up

Whew! Thank you for clearing that up!
If anyone missed it, we swapped sides on All Fall Down because that was the original order before Word Records made us switch it backwards for "commercial" reasons...azziff they had any 'commercial' intentions towards the album whatsoever....
To this day I'm not sure now whether we should have switched the order on the CD version after all, since folks were used to it being the opposite way. I am also ashamed of my pseudo British-accented vocal on "Caught In An Unguarded Moment" but I was quite young and stupid at the time.
