It's true - none of the tracks are on the LP. The evil Mr Vibert strikes again!! Having heard "Do Unto Others" though, I'm pretty glad it never made it. A bit too trip-hop by numbers with flutes if you ask me. B-Side's may well be pretty good though.

This is a moot point, because rumours before the release of Big Soup said that a 140 minute quadruple LP was on its way. So where the hell are the other tracks? A track "Sharp AZ" appeared on one of the Headz 2 compilations and there's the tracks from "Do Unto Others", so maybe these were going to feature but didn't. It's probably for the best though, as I for one am getting fed up with all those Mo Wax epic-in-length, even more epic-in-price releases which it seems would look better hung on the wall than heard on the turntables or in the CD player. Even worse is that this pruning wasn't enough, so they took some more tracks off the CD. Fortunately I own the vinyl version, and although it's sweet revenge for us vinyl buyers who usually have to put up with tracks on the CD being left off the 'DJ friendly' vinyl (how can leaving stuff *off* be considered DJ friendly bar making the pressing louder - put it on more bits of vinyl you cheapskates). Even so this must have really annoyed some people. Anyway, I digress. Can anyone shed any light on the mystery of the missing soup?
