hi there
reading that Neil is now rewroking or overdubbing material on the new album , has me wondering...has anyone ever heard tony visconti's stuff with the finn bros before it was redone?

I for one would love to hear what Tony came up with.

I think you'll find that LOTS of people have heard the visconti recordings. A certain *leak* that made it's way around cyberspace...

It's a very... DIFFERENT recording. Some nice songs that didn't make the album as well, though Sunset Swim ended up as a B-side. I think the version of Way Back Down was re-recorded with the rest of the album.

I'm curious... does anyone know who or what the leak was? An upset Tony Visconti maybe??? Or is this a bit of a taboo subject...

I don't think it's a tabbo subject. I rememember reading neil was please that the Visconti tapes came out.

If you go to the Finn Bros forum you'll see whole thread about the Visconti tapes.

Moved from "Crowded House"...

Have a look in this topic on the Visconti Sessions - keep you busy for a while


The Visconti version of Luckiest Man Alive makes an appearance on the EIH bonus DVD and I seem to remember some of the B-sides were the Visconti versions and didn't get re-recorded.

Fascinating - would love to get hold of them...

me too :-)

cant find them anywhere!

Visconti's a better producer than Mitchell Froom anyway, no actually Robert Fripp should have produced EIH!

yeah, the visconti sessions are interesting to say the least. some tracks work, most however don't.

well

part of me part of you is way better!!

It would have been a fine album and would have sold just as many. IMHO.

If you prefer the Woodface demos to the actual album then the V-sessions might be right for you.
