[292] Galaxie 500 - Studio outtakes (CDR)
This is a CD that came with the VHS I posted about earlier and a couple of posters. It contains studio outtakes, or unedited studio takes most of which has now been released, either on the first Uncollected or the more recent Uncollected Noise New York releases. Previously I had most/all of this on a cassette.

There is a live version of It’s Getting Late tagged on the end but even that has now had an official release, it being from the CBGBs show that recently got released.
The one, as yet still unreleased, gem is the fast version of Ceremony that I have shared before, but always nice to hear it again. I think this was recorded when they went into Noise New York to record demos for Slash Records in February 1989… I know somewhere Dean mentions the fast version in an interview/article/book but I haven’t tracked down where that was.
There are also non-album versions of Pictures and Flowers. The cassette I mention above suggests that Shout You Down, Can’t Believe It’s Me, and See Through Glasses were from December 1987, but I can’t find any evidence to support that, and the Noise New York Uncollected dates them to February 1988.
Full tracklist:
- Walking Song (August 1987)
- On The Floor (August 1987)
- The Other Side (August 1987)
- Shout You Down (February 1988)
- Can’t Believe It’s Me (February 1988)
- See Thru Glasses (February 1988)
- Song in 3 (July 1988)
- Jerome (July 1988)
- Ceremony (February 1989)
- I Will Walk (February 1989)
- Pictures (probably July 1988)
- Flowers (probably July 1988)
- It’s Getting Late (live at CBGB’s 13th December 1988)
OK - that all became a bit nerdy… and has me ready to start to document Galaxie 500’s recording sessions… next project!
