JUPITER & TEARDROP
German Single
Slash/London 1994
01. Jupiter & Teardrop - Edit
02. Wish You Well - Alternate Version
03. Soft Wolf Tread - Alternate Version
04. The Shining Hour - Alternate Version
The original versions of these tracks appear on the album "Fuzzy"
All songs written by Grant Lee Phillips
Produced by Paul Kimble
These alternate versions represent these album tracks in their early incarnations. They were recorded in the same session that yielded "Fuzzy", "Stars & Stripes" & "Dixie Drug Store".
"Wish You Well" is arranged differently than the album version. This alternate version employs some bizarre sound effects & Paul plays piano on it as well. It also features the voice of an unnamed psychic in the bridge, uttering the words "Los Angeles has been hit", recorded months before the LA riots, the song is a strange premonition.
"Soft Wolf Tread" - This version is a very intimate, acoustic, take on the song. Joey plays some really cool shakers. It is not an "unplugged" kind of thing but a completely different approach to the song. It may be better than the album version.
"The Shining Hour" - This one is a lot spookier here. It probably would have been on the album except that we forgot that it was recorded. The arrangement is different and I like the vocals on this version more than the album.

YOURS TRULY
Slash 1998
01. Truly, Truly
02. My, My, My
03. Were You There
04. Mockingbirds (Original 4 Track Demo)
All songs written by Grant Lee Phillips.
'"Truly, Truly" was one of the first songs written for the new album. it's a simple enough pledge, but I imagine it's overtones are as complex as anything I've written in awhile. I set out with the idea of saying something in a way that was more direct than I might of gone about things in the past. In short, let's just say it's very much a one-on-one kind of song, but if you feel like playing along, it's in regular old D. Yours truly, Grant.'
U.S. Promo E.P.
