"Sob"?

Well, I was just browsing eBay, and I found this cassette for sale.  It comes with the following description: "This vintage cassette tape has the work in progress of the Uplift Mofo release.. 10 tracks with early versions of the songs ... Some completely different than what was released....This comes from the collection of an audio engineer who was working in the studio during the sessions. You'll never seen this one around again! Happy Bidding!" This might just be a fake, it even has "Peppers" misspelled. But what I notice the most about this, is the supposed third track called "Sob". We know all the other track names, so I wonder if any of you know anything about this song? Is it a working title of something that turned out with a different name in the end? Maybe one of the untitled jams from those sessions? I'm really curious if anyone knows anything about this. |

Does the seller get good feedback from other buyers? I guess that's the only real way to be able to say anything about him. Those old albums, especially FS and UMPP are very muddy. Lots of versions and untitled demos etc. No Chump Love Sucker also has a typo in it. Wouldn't put a small demo tape of a small band past sound engineers making spelling mistakes though, to them they're just another random band. But if I had to make a guess, I'd say it's fake. Best would be to contact him and have him make a small video recording of the tape playing Sob. And if it's on there, something with AK vocals for easy proof. But it seems doubtful the seller would be prepared to do that.

He has a 99.5% approval rating. There's a good chance it's legit.

Me: Is the song "Sob" an alternate version of a song on the album or is it a different song altogether?
Wompasrecords: I actually haven t listened to much of this.. I got it from the engineer that worked on the session.
I know there is a lot of stuff that changed after this tape was created

The chance it's real is bigger than the chance it isn't, but no guarantees. To put it simply, if I had a 100 dollars to spare I'd invest it. If not, you can still argue with the guy to get your money back. If it's real you could contact the rhcpsessions people, share it with them and become a part of the history of compiling all hidden Chili music, that is worth a shot in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet that the tape is real. The main issue is whether its really a new song or not.

If some people would be willing to chip in some money we could buy it.

Sure, I can put down 10 or 15 euros or so. Can only do paypal though, I don't have any credit cards. I wonder if he might lower his price since no one placed a bid in a long time.
