The Boo Radleys - Lazarus (Remixes) (1994)

As a bonus post to end the short series of Boo Radleys rarities, here is a collection of recordings of their song 'Lazarus', from the 'Giant Steps' album. The band released the track as a single in 1993, and also issued a two-CD set of remixes by artists such as Ultramarine, St. Etienne and Augustus Pablo, as well as an extended 12" version. As so often with remixes, some of these are hardly recognisable as the original song, which means that nine versions of the same piece isn't as repetitious as you might first think. I've added the album version as well, so that we have all the different takes of the song, and it holds up pretty well as an album in its own right, so to round off the series, enjoy a bit of experimentation from a band who were always up for trying something a little different.

    1. I wouldn't even know how to block someone, but your downloads are queued, and there's four people ahead of you, so give it a bit longer.

  4. I originally thought that 1996 was a good place to end, as with the 'Kingsize' single being cancelled it only left the b-sides to 'Free Huey', but if I add the aborted b-sides from 'Kingsize' then it will make a nice EP to round things off.
