Overview

Archive Things 1982-88 / Purged --- 2007-04-00

"Prior to Meat Beat Manifesto there was Perennial Divide. Archive Things/Purged features unreleased tracks and instrumental versions from Perennial Divide. Also included are some of the original MBM demo tracks. Some of these tracks are 25 years old and never before available on CD. The original demos, to me, always had more bite than the actual first release. So here they are......" - Jack Dangers, San Francisco, 2007 Released through the official Meat Beat Manifesto website as a standard version, and a limited edition of 200 copies autographed by Jack Dangers. Comes in a gatefold cardstock slipcase with additional inner cardstock sleeves for each disc. The artist for all of the tracks on Disc 1, "Archive Things 1982-88", is incorrectly identified as being Meat Beat Manifesto. The version of "I Got The Fear" on this release is different than the one on "[m=32310]". The version of "Kneel And Buzz" on this release is different than the one on "[r=47126]" or "[m=32310]". Tracks 2-1 through 2-10 are seemingly identified on the inner sleeve as the original versions of the songs from the "[m=677368]" album, but they are actually the instrumental versions. The version of "Bee Head" on this release is the same as the one on the single-sided promo 7" for "[r=4225076]", except that it does not include the short 'yelling' bit at the end ([url=https://www.discogs.com/release/4225076]more info here[/url]).
