lost master tapes / 20th anniversary edition sticker

When the Absolute Garbage compilation has been poduced, nobody could find the original master tapes. A permanent loss of the original master tapes should become a major chapter of the Garbage (album) page. The 20th anniversary re-issue however, released 2015, wears a sticker saying "remastered from the original analog tapes". Have those been found again between The Absolute Collection (released 2012 in Australia, Only Happy When It Rains still only 3:47 from damage) and remastered Australian collection/20th Anniversary self-titled (both released 2015, OHWIR is 3:57 again on both)?

Version 2.0 material is different on Absolute Garbage as well (sounds of Push It are missing), but the Version 2.0 master tapes were never reported as lost. Why is Push It incomplete then?

It's totally confusing that they did a lot of work with collecting a new master tape from damaged 16Bit DATs and alternate recordings, which is incorret anyway from the damages on the DATs and the incorrect alternate material. When, being in a 16Bit situation anyway, simply extracting a copy of the self-titled cd to a digital image would have been the 100% correct and complete source for a new 16Bit master tape. A possible answer could be, that the DATs possibly were multi-tracks. But why was it more important to enhance the sound of repaired and therefore incorrect individual tracks than to have the correct songs? All Garbage albums as originally released will sound state of the art even in decades from now.

God damn, what a fucking waste those RfCs were, about an album I still haven't bothered listening to... Piotr Jr. (talk) 01:46, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of 20th Anniversary tracklistings

Who was the idiot who removed the tracklistings for the various editions of Garbage's first two albums? 174.215.216.255 (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

20th Anniversary Edition songs

The 9th song in the CD2 of the 20th Anniversary Edition: I think that's a Vic Chesnutt song, called "Kick My Ass" not "Kiss My Ass" And the track list of the "Super Deluxe" Editions with lots more mixes and demo versions are missing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnLrwmO6cM4 80.26.161.157 (talk) 17:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trip hop

There are quite clear trip hop elements on songs such as "Milk", "Queer" and "A Stoke of Luck"

What's the issue? The article already talks about the album having trip hop beats, quoting reviewers. Binksternet (talk) 17:37, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
