Same as whats on the album, plus a b-side or two and an instrumental. Just alternate versions |

Very interesting alternative versions, in some cases. "Hold Onto Your Hat," for example. I'm pretty sure it's the same take as what's on the record - but with Chuck's boogie-woogie piano track and without the overdrive/distortion that, I'm guessing, was added to the guitar tracks via the mixing console... It's nearly a different song. |

yeah..some of the songs are early takes (Almost hear you Sigh, with keith on a guide vocal), some are a bit longer or remixed, etc. The title of the material was "Steel wheels monitor mixes"
Obviously some of the alternate takes arent finished, but in general I prefer the mix on them as they have a harder, rawer edge than the 'cleaned' up released versions
All very kindly circulated and torrented by a guy who was close to the late Chuch Magee, I believe.
If he's reading this, it was greatly appreciated. Maybe he'll treat us to some more from the 'archives' sometime |

I recall that story Gazza, about the chap passing on, as well as the possible trove of gems which are lying somewhere....I hope I live long enough to see these.... |

Yes, they're nearly different songs.
Hold On To Your Hat, Terrifying and Hearts For Sale are 3 songs that didn't do it for me, before hearing the Steel Wheels outtakes
Those songs lost the whole feel at the official product - especially Ronnie's terrific guitarwork was both turned down and edited before release - together with the fact that the sound/mix was butchered. |
