Stanley Climbfall Question

[bradley]

I just had a question about the Stanley Climbfall album. The album that I have has 14 tracks, the last two being How Long, which is listed as a bonus track, and then the acoustic Sky Is Falling. I first got that album 10 years ago from someone as a Christmas present, and always assumed that was the only version of the album, but recently I saw some info on some website saying that a second version of SC had those two tracks plus an acoustic Take Me Away. Was there a version of SC that ended on track 12 with the song The Beginning?

The acoustic version of TMA, if I remember correctly, was on the TMA single, not on any album version (or it must be some obscure version I haven't seen yet).

There was the regular and the enhanced version of the album release. The regular version had 12 tracks with The Beginning as the final track. The enhanced version had How Long and Sky is Falling (Acoustic) as bonus songs.

I remember buying the SPIN CD single to get Wash and Spin acoustic. I then found "TMA" online somewhere (forget where) that was most likely done around the same time in 2002. TMA got a lot more treatment, tho. (string backing)

Hi Bradley, welcome to the boards! Great choice for a Christmas present indeed.

Oh those enhanced CDs were such a riot back then. I don't think I've seen the second album with TMA acoustic as a bonus track. Would love to get my hands on one though, if there is indeed a release in existence. In fact, I can't seem to find Stanley Climbfall on the shelves much anymore. Did find a cassette tape of it once though, that was nice.

Also, I went back to listen to TMA acoustic and I think I did a mental somersault at how distant yet familiar it was to my ears. Which brilliant mind arranged it?

Edit: Nevermind, it was Ron Aniello.
