this is the 2nd version of the book that came out in 1997 i think with cd instead of 7" and 1 extra track, the original book came out in 1992 (i think)

EDIT: yrs is a mini cd? i have this with full size cd, was there 3 editions of this book?

stu666 · 08.18.2008, 01:27 AM

here is a pic of both version i have, is the bottom one the same as you've got o'connor?

Little Jammy Thing = An instrumental demo of Wish Fulfillment set to a peculiar sounding beatbox track. Released semi-officially on a 7"/CD that came with the Sonic Life book.

The book is a bit of fun, really. Not good, not bad.
The authors will hate me for that

Nice catherine ceresole pics of early 'youth in there.
Does the "bigger" book have the same stuff in it, stu?

I have the CD/book version, and I found the book without the 7" as well.

I'd really prefer to have the 7" !!!

the bigger book has more pics and also has the lyrics for these albums: BMR, EVOL, Sister, DDN and Goo. but the discography only goes upto 1991

the smaller book has a couple of extra sections at the back from 1992-1997 and 1 extra track included on the cd, no lyrics though in here, but the discography goes upto 1996

so apart from those differnces they are basicly the same or not?

nicfit · 08.18.2008, 09:26 AM

more pics= win.

I might track that down too.

stu666 · 08.18.2008, 09:36 AM

the bigger book looks better on my shelf also

the small one is pretty tiny and gets lost amonst my other books!

strangely they both have 95 pages, but the big one is easier to read, i think the smaller book may have some different pics than the bigger one aswell, so after all this comparing i think the big one is the one to get, but for completists like me you should get both, hope this helps a bit

I keep it with the SY cds, as I don't have an LP shelf (no turntable yet, lame me)

.
but yes, bigger book is cool. when I have some spare money I'll go for it (there are always some on ebay).

o'connor · 08.18.2008, 04:46 PM
