Wall of Mouths

Even for someone who has all the albums, I think he/she will still buy it.

Funny, I’ve been thinking about this this week before I read the FAQ thing. It seems like every band with a bit of success manages to release a rarities/bsides thing. Obviously most of us would rather have rarities cos we have lots of the bsides already… It would be so cool to hear unreleased ideas they’ve had over the years, alternative versions, well just whatever really, I think we’d all salivate over anything they released… I’m sure it would get sales at least as much as scopophobia surely (not that I know anything about record sales). But what are the chances of it actually happening? Like Andy says, they’re at the mercy of the record labels…

That would be cool, they just have four record labels to convice, thats where the fun starts.

It might happen look at SMFTTYP it contains songs from three different record labels(four if you count Meat Abstract first being released on their Multifucking National label) and the bonus videos on Scopophobia were mostly from the A&M era.

I have the Nirvana box set and its shit hot, but a Therapy? one would be just as good if not better.

I hope this idea sees the light of day.

Chump.

… + the speedo menace

It would be a good idea to bring out a box-set! For their 15nd aniversary!

A box set would be great. There’s stuff that I know has been released but never had the chance to get them. With a few rarities, I think this would go down well.

The boxset might take a few years to sort out with getting legal clearances for songs off three labels and Andy is going to be recording the Tanks Of Justice side project later this year plus touring with T? and maybe a new T? album as well before the year ends.

Don’t spoil it for us! We can hope, can’t we? :p

Bah! You’re crushing our wide-eyed innocence beneath the weight of your cynicism/realism. :p

Don’t worry, this boxset will have everything (and more). Have faith. :D

Not too bothered about 2 best ofs, I mean most of us have all that stuff anyway, its the rarities and the unreleased bits and bobs I’d kill for!

it could be amazing imagine 4/5 disks.
2 best of’s
1 rareities+b-sides
1 Live album
1 D.V.D

I think if there is a boxset it will be mostly rareities and unreleased stuff because we already have all their studio albums and theres already the SMFTTYP compilation which is a sort of best of.

Title: my 2 cents. (merged)

Got me thinking few years ago, is it only me or are there those of you who think alike… Wouldn’t it be really cool if THERAPY? gathered all their non-album tracks, cover-tracks, b-sides, re-recordings, etc. (I think there must be at least around 30-40 tracks or so) and release them in a box set. Or as a double album, I don’t care! The point is, every now and then I see some poser, whether it’s disco, electro or big-rock-stars releasing their “greatest hits + unreleased tracks” compilation, featuring their one or two hit singles and just as much radio edit, disco, dub, mix, remix, dance floor versions of the same track, plus two, three new tracks. The same way’s with so-called singles. And the “problem” with THERAPY? is that whenever they released a single (and they did that quite often, thank you very much) they had a nasty habit (sarcastically speaking) of recording it with two or three new tracks!!! Some other bands, when they do something similar, they label it as an EP! :) He heh. The only other band that I cared about and that had some good and always-new tracks out on singles were FAITH NO MORE (R.I.P.). Damn, there were so many tracks that they could probably put an entire album out after they split.

THERAPY? have been making a kickass music for over a decade, and for most of fans living around the world it is kind of hard to track it all down. What where when why and so on… Well, I believe that Andy and Co. have been thinking about that themselves, long before that guy from the T? pools or myself asked that, and that it has to do with complications considering record label, legal issues, etc. but I hope that something will be done in near future.

Also, wouldn’t it be fun to hear DANCIN’ WITH MANSON or PERVERSONALITY re-recorded with the new line up? Better production? Inferior sound? Different samples? SUICIDAL TENDENCIES did that back in ’93. on their “Still cyco after all these years” (re-recording their ‘83. self-titled classic) album, last year ANTHRAX put a pool on their website on which their fans could vote for tracks they would like to hear re-recorded, and they released it on “The greater of two evils” album. Needless to say, I find them both amazing. When THERAPY? (that is, their record company) released “Caucasian psychosis”, I hoped that it’s re-recording album of the original tracks, but hey…

Little bit of faith goes a long way.

Others also had ideas about b-sides compilations here now and then.

As for re-recordings: as long as they’re busy with writing new songs and releasing them I don’t really think there’s a need for it though I have to admit that especially Neil’s drumming would be awesome with the old stuff.
