Broken, do the James reissues have bonus songs?

Yes indeed.

Seven:
Protect Me [Live at KROQ]
Sound [Live at Warrington]
Heavens [Live at Warrington]
Don't Wait That Long [Live at Warrington]

Laid:
Laid [Live at GLR]
Sometimes [Live]
Five-O [Live]
Say Something [The Say Nothing Mix]

Whiplash:
Lost A Friend [Live]
Greenpeace [Live at Shepherds Bush Empire]
Homeboy [Live at Shepherds Bush Empire]
Waltzing Along [Flytronix Remix]

I know for sure that the 'Whiplash' bonus tracks were all single b-sides as well as the live version of "Laid". I can't seem to tell if the others are exclusive to these releases or if they were on other things before.

There was also a re-issue of 'Gold Mother' from the same set but it's apparently gone out of print. I'm on a big James kick lately and am upgrading my old cassettes and CDs so I've gotta track it down at some point.

I'll try and make it a point to play along this year - besides, it would probably be interesting for me to look back at the end of the year what I bought and how much I spent.

2010 Total: $1146.52

January (in spoiler tags for size)



2010 Total: $17.97
2010 Average per CD: 7.99
2010 Average per MP3 Album: 1.83

So far, all I've got is this pre-order from Matador Records:

Ted Leo/Pharmacists - The Brutalist Bricks ($10,20)
Fucked Up - Couple Tracks ($10,20)
Bettie Serveert - Palomine ($8)
Shipping: $5,35

2010 total so far: $33,75

(But a lot of bands that I love have releases scheduled later in the year, so that total should increase; at any rate, it'll certainly surpass 2009, a year in which I bought a grand total of 5 albums. Seeing as my entire [legal] CD collection stacks up at around 900, it was really a slow year for me.)

I'll participate this year.

(It looks like only a few of you used this for most of the year. Not sure if 2011 merits a sticky but will listen to feedback and evaluate in Quarter 2 or later).
