I thought there were only 2 Finn Bros. albums.
But on rateyourmusic.com, there's this thing called 'Eyes Of The World', released in 1998.
Here's the link:
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/finn_brothers/eyes_of_the_world/

So does anyone know what this is? Outtakes, live, studio album?

I have never heard of this either- I checked the link out and there was no available track listing, maybe the website has it mixed up with the song. Has anyone heard anything about a Eyes of the World EP, because I don't think it was released as a single.

Probably a bootleg of some show Neil and Tim did with the brief FINN tour in 1995. Or ... since the link had no info on it at all, perhaps someone just made it up just to be annoying?

That's what I thought Dean, there was no info
It must be a bootleg

Eyes of the World is a 16-track fan club release. Only 500 are pressed for each issue.

Thank you all! But why would somebody put up a Fan Club release of rateyourmusic.com?

Can someone supply a track listing, please

My mistake, I should have remembered that it was a fan club release. I am 90% sure it is the Fillmore show from San Francisco, which would have been July 15, 1996.

The entire show can be found on somethingsofinn.com, but the CD itself has the tracklist as follows. It is a really good show, esp. at the end when Neil does I Got You on the ukulele.

Only Talking Sense
Eyes Of The World
Angels Heap
There Goes God
Four Seasons In One Day
Suffer Never
Where Is My Soul
Niwhai
Mood Swinging Man
Chocolate Cake
How Will You Go
Last Day Of June
Message To My Girl
I Got You (Ukulele version)
Famous Rock Riffs from History on the Ukulele
Paradise (Wherever You Are)

No it's not the Filmore show, it's taken from all over the place. There was a companion volume released through the club called Mood Swinging Men. One of them has an early version of Astro on it, the other has as a hidden track a very embryonic version of the verse to King Tide.

Thanks Dean,
Rock riffs from History on the ukulele would sound pretty awesome

As I said, it's not the Fillmore show, and the above is not the track list of the cd. Below is the track list of the cd:

Poor Boy (Park West Chicago 12/7/96)
Dirty Creature (John Anson Ford Theatre LA 17/7/96)
In Love With It All (Union Chapel London 16/11/95
Angels Heap (Union Chapel London 16/11/95
There Goes God (Union Chapel London 16/11/95
Kiss The Road of Raratonga (Renfrew Ferry Glasgow 15/11/95)
How Will You Go (Renfrew Ferry Glasgow 15/11/95)
Weather With You (Renfrew Ferry Glasgow 15/11/95)
Sweet Dreams (John Anson Ford Theatre LA 17/7/96)
Persuasion (Union Chapel London 16/11/95
History Never Repeats/King Tide (Union Chapel London 16/11/95
Last Day of June (Park West Chicago 12/7/96)
Message to my Girl (Park West Chicago 12/7/96)
Charlie (Union Chapel London 15/11/95
Eyes of the World (Civic Theatre Newcastle Aus 20/2/96)
It's Only Natural (Civic Theatre Newcastle Aus 20/2/96)

Thanks Camus ...

The only other Fan Club CD of that era I knew of was "Playing By Ear", so I just assumed it had to be the Fillmore show, esp. since it said it had 16 tracks.

Cheers

No worries Dean, the Fillmore show is very good

I was just thinking, ... Playing By Ear is the exact same thing as Mood Swinging Men then, since it has the early version of Astro on it. Strange that it could be known as two different names.

That being said, everything makes more sense now.

Playing By Ear is I believe Eyes of the World and Mood Swinging Men combined.

Is this allowed?



Fan Club CD - recorded all over the WORLD (including Glasgow, Scotland on the Renfrew Ferry)

Ah yes, I still have Mood Swinging Men and Eyes of the World CDs from my days back in the club (I must get around to rejoining sometime!) Absolute ripper CDs, fantastic for in the Car!

There are 4 fan club Finn Bros live cds:

Eyes of The World - 16 tracks - 5 are from London 11/16/95 - 1998 release

Mood Swinging Men - 16 tracks - 6 are from London 11/16/95 & 4 are from L.A. 7/17/96 - 1998 release

Belvoir - Perth 2/9/96 - 15 tracks - 2004

Kiwi Charms has the fantastic song Water Birth on it. Keep hoping it will be released someday.

That is indeed a great song. I love it
