Again, they had to delete the Children of Alice tracks.

 

 

They weren't on the tapes so they were never going to be on these vinyl reissues.

I think he was referring to the track that got swapped out on the Ornithology Tape. I well aware that Children Of Alice feature heavily on the tapes. I bought all the custom calendar tapes as they were originally released.

Actually, Rubin is correct. When these tapes were first issued, Children Of Alice featured on them. These vinyls are in a way abbreviated because all the COA stuff has been removed. Even more reason not to buy it - they don't reflect the original tapes.

 

I know they were all collected together on the COA debut album but it's sort of disingenuous for Folklore Tapes to reissue this stuff on vinyl because people will think they're getting the same tracks as the original tapes but they're not.

the track you are talking about is on the ornithology album which is part of the devon folklore tapes. that's different from the calendar customs tapes.

Yes, I know. I just assumed that was what he was referring to - I only understood what he meant when I looked at the vinyl track listing for these new issues. Basically, COA removed themselves entirely from DFT sometime during 2016 when they signed over to Warp.

It's no big deal, you can look at the COA album as a companion piece to this box set. Maybe it can even fit in with the vinyls?
