It's a Collector's Edition CD - that must be something special, eh? Ah, you mean it's a single. Right...
However pretentious the premise, the tracks off this single are great. The a-side's a live version, so a bit different to the LP. 'Wichita Lineman' (what a song) is a brilliant version, and the acoustic take on 'New Test Leper' is superb - one of my favourites of theirs. The originals of tracks 1, 2 and 4 are on New Adventures In HiFi, which I recall being slated at the time (for being recorded on tour at soundchecks and so on), but I reckon it really stands out now.
1. Bittersweet Me (Memphis Soundcheck)
2. Undertow (Live in Athens)
3. Wichita Lineman (Live in Houston)
4. New Test Leper (Acoustic in Seattle)
If you're not listening to Boston Spaceships, listen to this.
