MAD SEASON RELEASING BOX SET IN MARCH 2013 FEATURING NEW SONGS WITH MARK LANEGAN
From TheSunBreak.com‘s new interview with Barrett Martin:
“To honor our departed brothers, Mike and I oversaw a Mad Season box set, which comes out March 12th, 2013. It contains the re-mastered Above album, the Moore concert on DVD with surround sound, and a bunch of live recordings that we never released. The most exciting stuff: three songs that Mark Lanegan wrote lyrics and sang on, songs that we started to record for the second album but never finished because of Baker’s and Layne’s deaths. One of the songs Peter Buck wrote with us, and the other two are from me and Mike. They are three of the heaviest and most beautiful songs Mad Season did, and I know Layne and Baker will love them.”
Great stuff! Looking foward to get it!
Live @ the Moore DVD…hope there is more to that than what is on YouTube. Can’t wait to hear the new songs, and see the unreleased live recordings.
RIP LAYNE AND JBS
There’s something awkward abut this photo…:/
*about (not a Canadian)
holy shit! this is sweet! the vhs copy of moore show i have is amazing,can’t wait to hear the dvd quality!!!
Very exciting!!! Can’t wait for this one.
i rather have the Moore concert on DVD with surround sound then the remastered above album and probably the second album
touching.
Awesome news! I knew this wouldn’t be ready before next year but I can live with that.
I’m assuming that means we are only getting 3 of the unreleased tracks???
If so it is a shame we won’t get to hear all the other instrumental tracks they already recorded – I really hope they release them even if they are just as instrumental demos.
Looking forward to this!
Wow! That’s cool. I miss those guys so I’m happy they will honor them.
Yeah who did the super-imposing of Lanegan in that shot Brett? That does look awkward as hell, like Lananugs has tiny arms or hunchback neck. To say nothing of the big dent in his cheek. Funny more than anything, but I get the point.
GREAT NEWS! Layne and another very underrated, great musician John Baker Saunders will be proud.
I wonder if the “bunch of live songs that were never released” will be any rare songs they played live that didn’t make the album.
So only 3 new songs altogether?
Not that I’m disappointed, but the rumor was an entire new album that they’d written and recorded the music for.
I’ll be buying it regardless.
Best fucking news of the month baby
YESSSSS!!!!
@ cosmicatomic
I agree. I’m really looking forward to this and will buy it… however I really do hope that they release all the pre-recorded songs even if they are just as instrumental demos.
Previews would be a nice anticipation builder. GIVE ME SAMPLES!!!
The only bad thing about this news is that we’re only getting three songs with Lanegan. Mark Lanegan rules all!!! No disrespect to Layne, of course. Layne was amazing. But Mark Lanegan rules all!!! Except young Robert Plant. But apart from that Mark Lanegan rules all!!! Lanegan…
Looking forward to this!
@ Whisky
Listen to “Beyond the Wheel Live (Unbelievable Performance)” and you will realize why young CC is just head and shoulders above everyone. Plant…Im sorry… and thank you Robert Plant, your singing style introduced me to Cornell, which led to me finding Soundgarden! Thanks…but Cornell was more talented in technical skill than you even in your prime…MY OPINION!!! PLEASE DONT HATE ME ZED HEADS!!! PLANTS ONE OF THE TOP 5 SINGERS EVER! (1mercury 2 Cornell 3 Plant 4 Staley 5 maybe Dio…)
let the debates begin!
Garden of Sound, I won’t hate on you. Even if I don’t agree with your placement, at least you recognize Plant’s brilliance, which is enough for me to respect you! I also think that Cornell is amazing, and he’s probably in my top 5 too. We can all get along! I’d say 1) Plant 2) Lanegan 3/4)Cornell/Staley-tie 5)… Not sure? Maybe Buckley, maybe that dude from Shine Down (not a fan of their music, but he does have an amazing voice), maybe Mercury (nice to see the nod to Freddie). This needs further thought…
BOOM
Are they still doing the second album? Im happy to hear some new Mad Season stuff but I hope they use the rest of the material intended for the second album.
HAHA!
Hope the DVD is the FULL concert and not just the edited VHS version. As for live stuff I hope they release all the gigs they did, after all they didnt do many:
12Th October 1994, Crocodile Cafe – 5 Mad Season Songs & Jimi Hendrix Cover.
6th November 1994 – Crocodile Cafe – 5 songs
20th November 1994 – Crocodile Cafe – 8 Songs – 1 Unreleased jam
31st December 1994 – RKCNDY – 8 Mad Season Songs & John Lennon Cover
8th January – Self Pollution Radio – 2 Songs
22nd April 1995 – Crocodile Cafe – 7 Songs (Also same day Moore Theatre Rehersal)
29th April 1995 – Moore Theatre – 10 Mad Season Songs & John Lennon Cover
With the unreleased tracks with Mark Lanegan – this would be a dream boxset. FINGERS CROSSED FOR MARCH 2013
@ Whiskey
Hooray!
Never released live recordings. All you had to say.
this is like timemachine back to 90s, really looking forward to hearing this
Awesome! I’m really looking forward to this. The three new tracks with Lanegan will be awesome and I’ll be looking forward to a DVD of Live at the Moore. I hope they do release all the songs and not just the one that were on the VHS. I seem to remember some weird video effects on the VHS too, maybe they could leave those out.
Hey I just thought, maybe we will get to see the Mad Season from New Year’s finally, the small 35 second clip has been on YouTube forever, but no real videos.Think Johnny Bacolas has the rights, so maybe he was waiting for something like this to release it to the rest of Mad Season? Let’s hope!
Awesome.
3 songs? they said full album, god damn it. i mean im happy but they shouldnt have gotten my hopes that high. im happy to get anything but its their fault i expected more
Wow, some people just won’t be happy until Layne & John come back from the dead to finish the album.
The album is almost 20 years old, move the fuck on people.
I can’t wait for this release, and anything else Lanegan has on the horizon.
Above, that is.
wtf? Mike said it would be 12 songs that Lannegan would be singing on not three.
This will be my birthday gift!
