Popular Post lbw87 Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 I don’t know if its ok to post this, but f**k it… I got my hands on the unreleased outtake Alison (Elvis Costello Cover) from the Nimrod Sessions. It is from a bootleg 7inch record, which unfortunately skips a bit. But it is definitely GD, as you can tell. Crazy to hear after 25 years. If it is ok w GDC I will rip the full song. I also will be posting an unreleased alternate unmastered remix of Redundant from 1998. No.. its not the Richard Dodd wide mix. I’m calling it the “Warning mix” since it is less distorted and more stripped down like Warning - the album. There is no second guitar, and the mix has more presence on the acoustic guitar, tambourine, and overdubs. It sounds less chunky and something that’d fit in more so on Warning rather than Nimrod. I imagine it was an early mix before it was finished - but why it is labeled as 1998 makes me curious as to why it was mixed like this after the album release…. More to come.

Insomniac1984 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Any chance of a full audio rip of these recordings??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GreenDayBootlegs2010 Posted May 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2022 I know where this was extracted. A few days ago a person was auctioning this 7 inch on eBay. In the end the person won the auction for a high price. Here is the link where this appears. https://www.ebay.es/itm/294922984521 Info: This is a super rare Green Day 7" 45rpm record makes the perfect gift for the ultimate Green Day collector or fan! Purchased from Tower Records San Francisco back in 2006 and has been kept in MINT condition in storage. Hand-numbered (15 out of 20) Side 1 features an acoustic cover of the 1977 Elvis Costello hit 'Alison' and Side 2 features the full band version with Green Day as well as an acoustic live version with Elvis Costello himself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cav9mm Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Is J.A.R.on this or is that just a happy co-incidence ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aahhhh Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Is this actually a bootleg? It's obviously not from Warner, but pressing only 20 copies makes me think someone in/around the band was making these as a gift (ala The Boo 7"). Seems like bootleggers would either press more copies and/or release it on CD if they were trying to make money. Since these songs weren't circulating AFAIK, there can't be THAT many people who had access to them. The fact that it was sold at Tower Records in SF also makes me think it was someone around the band. I have no proof, but the more I think about it the stranger the random bootleg angle seems. Edit: Who is Chaz Wentworth?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lbw87 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 Here is Redundant 2-9-1998 Future Disc Systems Remix Future Disc Systems is the team who mastered Nimrod. I imagine they were involved in the single release in 1998 perhaps as an early mix, or rejected mix. Sounds like something that'd be on Warning rather than Nimrod to me.

Based on the Feb 98 date this seems like it was done to emphasize the acoustic + singer-songwriter elements of Redundant after Good Riddance's crazy success. Good Riddance was released as a single in early December 1997 and Redundant was released in late April 1998 so the timing fits. They probably wanted to try for a more unique sound. I assume this was rejected in favor of the Richard Dodd wide mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this was rejected in favor of the Richard Dodd wide mix. Possibly a theory could be drawn that thanks to Good Riddance, the Warning album was born and they wanted to take a test that maybe they would be successful on the album, which was not successful. So maybe the origin of Warning is due to these two songs: Good Riddance and Redundant (Future Disc Systems Remix). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
