Now what would you add to each album? I don't have a list of videos here - which videos are available for each album? And make your own suggestions about what should be on each one - I'm looking for specifics, not just "all the vault tracks".

[updated to include first four albums' specifics]

hey i'll chime in. why not?

here's my Batman Special Edition CD/DVD Set

disc 1 would be the album

1)The Future-live from tokyo 1990
2)Batdance-live from tokyo 1990
3)Partyman-live from tokyo 1990
4)Electric Chair-SNL Performance
5)Scandalous-Music Video
6)Partyman-Purple Party Mix video
7)Batdance-Music Video

I would can the Tokyo live stuff (they have nothing to do with the movie...)
I'd put these vid's on it:

The Future (Compilation vid)
The Arms Of Orion (Compilation vid)
Partyman
Scandalous
Batdance
Batdance (Edit)
Batdance (Vicki Vale Mix)
Batdance (The Batmix)

And as an easter egg sort of thing the pieces of the workprint that included "Dance With The Devil", "1999", "Baby, I'm A Star" and "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic"...

Neversin.

I would make 'em 2-disc affairs (Dualdisc and regular, with all 7", 12" and eventual b-sides and eventual video's...)
And if there's space left put in an earlier config of said album and outtakes...

Neversin.

Neversin said:

There were that many videos for Batdance?

booyah said:

Yup... All different edits of the main vid...

Neversin.

Just added some Parade specifics. I'll keep adding once in a while - I need some reminders about what videos (and what TV performances) are available for which albums, though.

For P.R. I'd do a COMPLETE soundtrack, including all the songs in film order, with the credits medley as a bonus also, just for the sake of completion. Make disc 2 of Lovesexy tracked, which wasn't done here in the states. For everything else, add some b-sides and/or extended versions on disc 2.

I've added some more specifics - for The Black Album, and Lovesexy. Even if this is just a fantasy proposal, it may still act as a good reference to what 'items' are associated with which albums.

I would actually like to see the records released as 24 (or whatever) track Pro-Tools LE files.

Along with all long versions and 12-inch b-sides.

THEN we could mix and master them to out own heart's constent. Don't ya'll want to hear those NAKED guitar parts?

each released remastered with any b-sides , 12" remixes of that cd. also best 2 outtakes of that cd

I've updated the first four albums' worth too.
