Talk:Long Tall Weekend

From This Might Be A Wiki

[edit] Gaps

Why is there a long silence at the end of each song?

On CDs, pauses can be added in between tracks for space. Since this album was released for MP3, they added the spaces right into the MP3 files. -CapitalQ 15:24, 5 Jan 2006 (EST)

[edit] Promo CD

Did the Long Tall Weekend Promo CD actually exist? If so, tell me where it is.

There are at least two different LTW promo CDs. Here's what they look like.
The cd was also available for a brief period via eMusic. Very early on, if you bought the mp3s through eMusic, a lmt. ed. of the cd was sent to you by mail. Might this fact be incorporated into the article?
Actually, the "limited edition" CD available when you bought the album deal came with another eMusic-released album--the Working Undercover For The Man EP--not Long Tall Weekend. I got both LTW and the WUftM EP right when they came out, and I'm almost certain that there were no LTW CDs sent out by eMusic. Can anyone back me up on this? (By the way, I used quotes around "limited edition" because the Undercover physical CD was still available for purchase at tmbg.com the last time I checked, which suggests that its print run wasn't as "limited" as eMusic thought it would be. Did they overestimate how many people would buy the EP? Or did they just decide later to make more physical CDs?) ~Drew
I'll back you up. I bought LTW as soon as it was released and I never got a physical CD. I do have the WUftM CD, however. --Semprini 21:16, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question About PDF Liner Notes

I know this isn't directly TMBG related, but seeing the link to get the Long Tall Weekend PDF liner notes reminded me that, during the same time period in which I bought Long Tall Weekend, I also purchased a Phish live show called "Halloween 1990" from eMusic, which also had PDF liner notes. However, with switching computers and reformatting my hard drive, etc., over the ensuing years, I lost track of the liner notes for both albums. I got the LTW notes from here, but does anyone else here happen to have purchased that Phish show from eMusic and still have the PDF liner notes they could give me? I'd appreciate it if anyone does . . . ~Drew

[edit] Promo CD

I don't think the Long Tall Weekend promotional CD was ever available on eBay, or at least I never saw it on eBay.

It was on eBay last week and went for about $51. -CapitalQ / @ / 21:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cover

Anybody know why there are two different covers? Which one is the correct (or I suppose "canon") one: the one in the PDF liner notes, or the one on the eMusic download page? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 19:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

This image should be on this page somewhere, but I can't decide just exactly where:
Discuss. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 17:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] eMusic

So you have to subscribe to a site in order to get this one CD? Damn...now that iTunes is out, they should at least release it on that! ~Anna Ng hears your words.

You can get the album with a free trial to eMusic, and never have to pay a dime. :) You do need a credit card, though. -CapitalQ / @ / 02:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

This is probably a really, really dumb question...but how do you assemble the liner notes?

The way I did, you just print off each page and cut it out. The first page of the PDF, put face down on a table or something. Then put page two face down on top of it. And so on. When they're all there, just fold it in half and staple or tape or do whatever. ~ magbatz 00:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Album count

ever notice that the pressrelease claims that this is TMBGs 11th album? They must be counting Misc T and the demos, right? Johnocide

I'm guessing they're counting Miscellaneous T and Severe Tire Damage. As for the other two, no clue. Maybe Then: The Earlier Years and possibly Why Does The Sun Shine? (EP) because it's a standalone EP and not album b-sides. Akagi 20:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Maybe they're just jerks :) Johnocide

[edit] Higher Quality MP3s?

Hey, has anybody bought this album from eMusic lately? And if so, what was the MP3 bitrate? The reason I ask is that I'm currently doing an eMusic trial, and I've noticed that the MP3s I've bought are higher quality (ranging from 158 kbps [VBR] to 215 kbps [VBR]) than they were when I first bought Long Tall Weekend (at that time they were only 128 kbps). So, if anybody knows if the LTW MP3s are higher quality now, please let me know! Thanks! ~Drew

I can confirm that the MP3s were higher quality than 128kbps about two years ago (I believe they were 192kbps VBR like the ones you downloaded). -CapitalQ / @ / 00:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
