Notes: Contents: [Same as released version] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist: Bob Mould Title: Bob Mould Interview Format: Cassette Label: Virgin Records Catalog Number: None Release Date: Early? 1989 Time: 50 minutes Notes: Interview with Bob Mould conducted by Darryl Morden, probably early in 1989, interspersed with songs from Workbook and a "live in studio" performance* of "Lonely Afternoon." This item, released as a 60- minute CrO2 cassette with dot-matrix-printed inlay card, almost certainly preceded the more fancily- packaged "notebook" sampler/interview described below. Track times are approximate (based on notoriously inaccurate cassette player time displays).

Except for this sampler segment, the content of the two promo cassettes is identical, including the solo acoustic performance* of "Lonely Afternoon." The packaging of this item is designed to look like a school notebook. Recorded on 90- minute cassette. Track times approximate.

He's properly identified on the disk itself and in the insert booklet, which declares: "A fairly drastic but welcome departure from Husker Du's speed-of-sound sonic roar, Bob Mould's first solo LP exposes a folkier, more melodic and introspective, less abrasive side of his voice, music and personality. As on much of the album, acoustic guitars and a subtle string arrangement are at the fore here, with a neo-'60s melody and some fairly heavy lyrics breaking through the glimmering sound like the sun through the clouds over Minneapolis." Oddly, the album title, Workbook, is never mentioned (perhaps not yet known when the liner notes were written).

Time: 67:21 Notes: The GoldDisc series of CDs is a product line aimed at radio stations for broadcast use and sorted into various categories (adult contemporary, Christmas, oldies, etc). There appear to be about 2500 such CDs in print. This one falls into the "Alternative" category. TM Century (which became TM Studios in 2008) has been putting these out since 1987. The release year given above as 1993 is just a guess, based on the fact that the most recent track on the disc dates to 1992. Some of the other artists include Pantera, the Replacements, Ace Frehley, REM, Moody Blues, Anthrax, UFO. The tracks all sound highly compressed, not unexpected for a product designed for radio airplay.

There's considerable emphasis on commercially successful artists (Janet Jackson, Spice Girls, Tina Turner). It's difficult to imagine anyone having the patience to listen to this thing all the way through. The Mould track, from 1989's Workbook, appears on disk 1. Black Sheets, for whatever reason, is not represented.

Advertised street date is 25 Aug 1998. No musicians are credited in the accompanying notes, but the following rather ominous statement does appear: "The release of The Last Dog And Pony Show. precedes Mould's final tour with a full-on, loud electric rock band. Featuring a newly-assembled four-member group, the tour will effectively retire the live performance of the sound that Mould made famous."

A true CD (not CDR). No catalog number in evidence anywhere. "Full Frequency Music" appears to be an offshoot of the Blowoff operation. No credits listed for specific vocals or instruments, but Bob sings lead vocals unless otherwise indicated: on tracks marked (*), Rich sings lead with Bob (usually) backing; on those marked (**), lead vox are shared or alternating. Vocal on "Tag It" (!) is in the Stephen Hawking/ computer voice. Songwriting/arranging credited to Blowoff. It's interesting to note that "Beautiful" is the same song as "Lost Zoloft" (off modulate.), albeit rearranged and slowed down a bit.
