The mix of "Math is Money" on HftDT is different

[thrasher9294]

A while back, I found this post from soniclovenoize about the bonus tracks on Soft Rock:

Well here's the interesting thing: Some of those songs from the Bay City Rolling sessions actually leaked as mp3s on Napster before they were even released... It was in 2000 so it was a year before the 7" was released and obviously long before it was released on Soft Rock. But here's the thing: they were different mixes. I don't know the source of those mp3s, had to have been someone close to the band. Possibly someone from Dillinger Four. The individual was also sharing the live Mick's Tape from the Universal Buzz Radio show, long before I knew what that even was or where to find it.

My point is that the end of Math Is $$$ was different so that in my opinion, it could flow seamlessly from Math is $$ into Secret Santa Cruz. It ended with a similar guitar sound and/or figure on top of the drum machine as on Secret Santa Cruz, unlike the Soft Rock version which is just the drum machine looped (presumably) endlessly. I really want to say that this orignal mix of Math is $$$ was released on this compilation called Hanging From The Devil's Tree in 2000 but I don't remember exactly.

Well, I've uploaded the version to YouTube after getting my hands on that compilation disc. I've tried lining it up with Secret Santa Cruz, and it definitely does flow pretty well. It's got a very different placement of the distortion in the mix, but otherwise is mostly the same.



Figured it would be interesting to see what he was talking about.

They haven't in a while, sadly. This was the thread I saw it in:

Sorry to hijack the thread, but this thread and the one from 2013 led me to some Google searches. It looks like there used to be a "Lifter Puller folklore" page on Wikipedia (the real one, not the Wikia), but it isn't there anymore. Anyone have it archived?

This is the best archive of it that exists:
