Remastered and changed in some areas, with some new material, and some missing material. Completely different booklet/cover/liners... As with the LP, each track is made up of several different segments. JLH Outro is the name of the hidden track, the JLH stands for "John Lee Hooker", I assume because the band feels the main riff sounds like a Hooker riff. The same people contributed to this version of the record as the LP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fly Pan Am/Godspeed You Black Emperor! x7" 1998 aMAZEzine! Maze001 CA TRACKS: L'espace au sol est redessine par d'immenses panneaux bleus // Sunshine + Gasoline Notes: Initial 550 copies pressed on white vinyl, last 550 on black. Came free with Montreal based aMAZEzine!, issue #4. Apparently the copies pressed on black sounded better, but I don't know if this is true. The 'zine includes an interview with the band. Side A (L'espace au...) is by Fly Pan Am, Side B (Sunshine..) by gybe!. Though they were on the B-Side, GYBE! were given top billing. This was the first official release of FPA material. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada EP 1999 Constellation cst006 CA CD 1999 Kranky Krank034 US CD 2000 P-Vine/Kranky PCD-4204 JP TRACKS: Moya // BBF3 Notes: Vinyl (EP) edition comes in a foil-stamped jacket.

Additional Musicians: Brian and Alfons contribute horns on "Lift Yr. Skinny...." and ".. Locks of Love Part III". =============================================================================== PART TWO: BOOTLEGS/LIVE RECORDINGS (Not a complete list, by any means) =============================================================================== NOTES TO BOOTLEG SECTION: As gybe! tend to play songs for a long while before actually releasing them, names can sometimes be a problem. To make it more confusing, these names tend to change from setlists to albums. The following is a list of different names for similar songs, and what i will be using in this list: John Hughes: John Hughes (Setlists), She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field (Lift Yr....) Moya: Moya (Slow Riot...), Gorecki (Setlists) Chart #3 / Steve Reich: This is the same song, BUT I have used "Chart #3" when it is cut off halfway through (as on Lift Yr. Skinny...) and Steve Reich when it is played to completion (as on the Peel and VRPO Sessions). On setlists "Chart #3" is called "Intro to Steve Reich", since it's only the first half. 12-28-99: Sometimes accompanied with a slow, soft piece lasting a few minutes. When this piece is not played, 12-28-99 is marked as 12-28-99(No Ending). =============================================================================== 10.06.97- Can-Zine Fest, Toronto, ON.
