Hi.
I've rounded up all the 77's CD's, as well as some compilation CD's from Alternative/Stunt that have some odd tracks ("Unsatisfied," "Wild Boys," "Thief Song," and "When the Victims Control" under the name SCRATCH BAND), as well as "Good Directions" and a non-Lost Dogs version of "Smokescreen."
does anyone else know of other "off the beaten path" 77's tunes, and how one might go about getting them? 
Thanks!

By referring to Good Directions & Smokescreen, I assume you are referring to Boot Level (CD edition), which also includes a unique demo of Mercy Mercy. (The remaining 77s tracks on that CD were reissued as bonus cuts on the 123 box.)
Also, you need the various artists compilation Live At Cornerstone 2000: Greatest Hits (Millenium Eight) for 3 tracks, as well as Flevo Totaal Festival (GMI) for a live version of I Can't Get Over It.
Maybe someone can chime in regarding availability.

Additionally, hope you also have the fan club releases Happy Chrimbo and Guilty Pleasures for more odds n ends.
(You didn't mention it, but also unique to Shirley: The Someone New extended mix is different from that on 123.)

There's a different mix of "You walked in the room" on the "Spark" Release of "Sticks and Stones".

And, of course, there's the Island [Records] Sampler #1 that contains THE original mix (or master recording) of "I Can't Get Over It," which may be better than the mix that appears on the s/t album.
Mike Roe can correct me if I'm wrong ... BTW, did you ever get a genuine copy of that sampler, Mike? I remember us scrambling for one of Randy Layton's extra copies a number of years ago ...

| RE: Island Records Sampler |
     |
There was ever only one mix of "I Can't Get Over It". I have but ONE copy of the Island Sampler CD, and I'm so proud of it mainly because our tune sits right next to "The Cutting Edge" by our idols The Comsat Angels! It's one of their best cuts ever.
Additionally, Traffic's "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" is on there. What could be cooler than that?
We are the champions of the 'missed lucky break', but that sampler defied our perpetual bad luck as there really isn't any good reason why we ended up on there. These kinds of cool things rarely happen to us so I've always been grateful for this little gem even though maybe only ten people got to actually have one.
