I heard that Bread and Butter was an exclusive overseas bonus track for Game Theory.

Well, if one were to somehow locate a complete version of a program called "Tunebite", said person could convert any m4p to mp3, ogg or wma format.

Anyone know if this is available in the iTunes Canada store as well? I know that someone mentioned Organix was in iTunes, but I couldn't find it in the Canadian store.

Find the promo vinyl for Here I Come/In The Music and the one for Don't Feel Right.

99 cents for a bonus track is a good price.

As for edited, do what I do and curse alot before and after playing. It evens out.

You are thinking of:
FREE tracks or Promotional Tracks

Bonus tracks are EXTRA tracks not available on the same thing in other formats.

Examples:
Devo's 'Total Devo' casette had two remixes of songs not on the CD. Those were bonus tracks, but only on the cassette.
The Roots The Tipping Point has an additional track on the Euro and japanese versions. Those are bonuses.

Hell, The Smiths and Morriseey, Bjork and Beck and Depeche Mode have half of their "canons" as bonus tracks. But they aren't free.

the real issue here is throwaway is not the same as bonus, because bonus STILL makes the album.

this is very disappointing, im not gonna lie.

at least my plan was to put the throwaways at the end of GT to make the album longer, but not gonna work now.

In response to Reply # 13


  

          

is that you heard the album FIRST and then got hyped to hear the EP, but then 3/4 of the EP was from the album and you got disappointed.

for those (maybe few) of us who refrained from listening to the leak, we got the EP first, which in turn has made us even more hyped to listen to the rest of the album when it comes out, cuz the EP shit is new and hot to us. i'm pretty sure that was the point of putting out the EP.

i was disappointed because they said the EP would be 5 tracks, 3 of which are on the album, the other 2 being ones that didnt make the cut.

and the EP turned out to be 4 tracks, 4 of which are on the album (im counting the european version here for Bread and Butter)

I disagree. I think "Bread and Butter" is just as strong as most of the tracks on Game Theory, and it would have fit perfectly, musically and lyrically, in the context of the album.

Yeah, Dice raw had the hottest track on Game Theory on "Here I Come." I don't think Game Theory comes close to The Roots previos work. I'm still buyin it though. I get a little compulsive about having the whole discography and all. "Bread and Butter" sounds better to me then alot of the stuff on Game Theory, which in my opinion needs all the help it can get. Okay...so where can I buy the UK version? Why is the UK getting an extra "bonus" Roots track? Do I have to buy a plane ticket before I buy this album?

This EP is excellent and whets my hunger for Game Theory (yep I'm the last nigga in the US who didn't download that album.)
My only compliant is that it's so short once I put this in it's done.

I get tired of them leaving stuff off their album. I need the Roots to release a collection of stuff they did that never saw the light of day. Hell they record like 45-50 songs for every album and we always get 10-14 tracks tops. I'm pretty sure a lot of that stuff they left off is dope. On a side note, since you are the biggest Roots fan please tell me what song number 80 is. I've been trying to figure that out for a minute now.

#80 is actually hidden between tracks 78. and 79. on The Roots Come Alive. It consists of three seperate parts I describe as:

80. (Live at The T-Bone Connect continues) ,(Stop The Violence live with didjeridoo), New Year's @ Jay Dee's


New Year's @ Jay Dee's is also on certain versions of the You Got Me single from Europe.
