So Close...Yet So Far, by The Prayer Chain

So Close...Yet So Far

by The Prayer Chain

supported by

ThomWade This is one of those "Here are a bunch of demos and live performances" albums. With 31 tracks, it is a mixed bag, but there is some interesting material here. Alternate mixes, early raw demos, unreleased songs...there is a little something for everyone here. Favorite track: Lose Yourself (demo) [SCYSF Disc 2].

about

Self-released compilation/retrospective/rarities, with two discs of material.

There are some errors in the liner notes:

1) There is a page of the booklet devoted to detailing the songs of each disc. They are flip-flopped. The page labelled as 'Disc One' is actually 'Disc Two', and vice versa.

2) On the back cover, the alternate mixes from the "Mercury" album are designated correctly, however, on the liner notes inside, they are not.

3) The section labelled "Too Much Information" which shows the covers and lists the song titles of all the albums released by the band has many errors.
