Firstly, I didn't receive this email and I've been subscribed to Mike since the first day. That's strange.

It's weird. I've some people saying they received it and others saying they didn't. I know at least two people in our team didn't get it.

Secondly, didn't someone literally start a thread about the origin of that sample here very recently? Is there a chance that's not a coincidence???

I think there's a chance Mike saw the question about Goop we sent for tomorrow's Q&A and decided to use the vinyl today.

If you're subscribed to Mike Shinoda on Twitch, check your e-mails for a download of today's track created entirely with random samples.

While making the track, Mike pulled up an old vinyl titled "Sex Explained For Children" to sample. Turns out this disc is the source of the talking in the Hybrid Theory era beat known as 'Goop.' The origin of those samples were one of the great mysteries in the Linkin Park world. Thanks to this track, we were finally able to solve it.

Mike used the samples in the stream today. It's from this vinyl:

Does Esaul (Xero Demo) have the same lyrics as Esaul (A Place For My Head Demo) [LPU Rarities]?

All the Xero demos have some minor differences in the lyrics compared to the Linkin Park versions. Rhinestone, Reading My Eyes, Pictureboard and Esaul.

So they also just played the Rinestone (xero demo) ...and its not the tape version, heaps clearer but also a differnt take, singing isnt the same. I recorded it, missed the very start tho

 

It's the Zomba sampler version from 1998.

Yes.

Scratch that, the lyrics are different. Chester changes a few words in the verses and chorus and doesn't repeat the "message on my board" part in the chorus.

So now we have a new holy grail with the three-song demo before the Xero tape? Boy oh boy...

Oh, this is interesting. I hadn't read the article yet when I posted it. I remember this was brought up before:

https://lplive.net/forums/topic/12342-an-earlier-xero-tape/

It's interesting that Joe says the tape had 3 tracks, none of which made it on the album, and that Rhinestone came from a later batch after they started putting the band together. Maybe Dialate was in the original tape? I remember Mike saying on his blog Reading My Eyes was in the tape they would send to record companies AND the tape they would pass to new fans:

However, on Kerrang! Joe does say By Myself was written by Xero, so his memory might not be the best. In the Billboard article Mike talks about doing the demos with Chester and we know Mark isn't credited for the song.

Warner Records will issue an exclusive Record Store Day vinyl of Meteora for Black Friday. The successful follow-up to the band’s debut album, Hybrid Theory, will be pressed on exclusive 2 x LP aqua blue vinyl and limited to 3000 copies. The expected release date is November 27, 2020. For more information, visit the Record Store Day website here.

For the first time in the band's history, they got together for detailed track-by-track commentaries on every song in Hybrid Theory. Check out some exclusive behind the scenes stories from Brad, Joe and Mike on Billboard and Kerrang! Additionally, the Kerrang! article brings video interviews and a link to download photos from the Hybrid Theory era.

Does the Chester version of Pictureboard have the same lyrics as the Mark version of Pictureboard?

Yes.

Next person who posts a request will be banned.

Did they play Reading My Eyes on the radio as well? Because they could very easily just be mistaken about the source of the songs if Mike/the band said Rhinestone is from the demo tape and then they played the Zomba version. I'd be a little surprised if anything from the Xero tape is actually on this release considering the quality of that tape.

Yes, it was played. It's the Xero tape version. Maybe they never recorded another version of this song.

"allowing them to experience music the way artists intended"

 

I'm sure none of these artists intended for the music to be heard in '3D', or even Surround Sound. They were all made for Stereo lol

Or mono for older music. lol

Does HT20 being released in 3D audio mean we will soon have separate channels for the LPU tracks and new demos like what we have for Reanimation?

From StreetInsider:

With Amazon Music HD, customers can already stream 5 million songs in Ultra HD (better than CD quality), with a bit depth of 24 bits and a sample rate up to 192 kHz. Customers can also stream more than 60 million lossless High Definition songs, with a bit depth of 16 bits and a sample rate of 44.1kHz (CD quality), and a growing catalog of 3D Audio. Now, Amazon Music is making the biggest catalog of Ultra HD music even bigger, revealing nuances that were once flattened in files compressed for digital streaming or CD manufacturing. All titles resulting from this Ultra HD music partnership will be delivered in 24 bit and 96 kHz or 192 kHz. Hundreds of albums including Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon: The End of Day; Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged in New York; Waylon Jennings’ Don’t Think Twice; Diana Ross’ Diana & Marvin; B.B. King’s Lucille; Lady Gaga’s Joanne; Ariana Grande’s debut album, Yours Truly; 2 Chainz’ The Play Don’t Care who Makes It; J. Cole’s album KOD; and Bob Marley and the Wailers’ Natty Dread, have already been remastered and will soon be available to stream in Ultra HD.

They add:

In addition to Ultra HD remasters, select albums and songs will be remixed in 3D Audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360RA. Listeners will be able to stream these 3D mixes when listening through Amazon Music HD on Amazon’s groundbreaking high-fidelity smart speaker, Echo Studio. When paired with an Echo Studio, customers will experience immersive audio, which brings listeners closer to their favorite artists and songs, allowing them to experience music the way artists intended. The world’s biggest recording artists are quickly adapting these immersive formats. Albums including Tom Petty’s upcoming Wildflowers & All the Rest; Eagles Live From The Forum MMXVIII; Linkin Park’s 20th anniversary edition of Hybrid Theory; the Ramones’ eponymous debut album; Lady Gaga’s Chromatica; Post Malone’s Hollywood is Bleeding; and Selena Gomez’ Rare, will soon be available to stream in 3D Audio.

Ahead of the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary edition coming next week, Linkin Park has shared another track from the collection. It's the demo version of In The End originally released in the LP Underground Eleven CD and included in the LPU Rarities disc. The track has been remastered to fit with the rest of the LPU demos.

Were Mark's vocals originally on So Far Away and Blue, before Chester joined the band, since they are labeled as 1998 demos? Or did they not have Mark on vocals? We know Mark's vocals were originally on Slip, meaning Slip was originally a Xero song. 

I think there has been no confirmation Mark ever recorded Slip, but we generally assume he did because he is credited for the song on the LPU 11 booklet. He is not credited for Blue or So Far Away.

Also, I thought it was said that In The End (Demo) [LPU Rarities] was going to be pre-released sometime this month. It's September the 30th, the last day of the month.

When is it going to be pre-released? But knowing these facts now, it might just be speculation.

Idk if someone has already noted this, but it strikes me as weird that there's no live version of Reading My Eyes in the release. Seems like if they were gonna include the Mark Xero version, they would also treat fans who are hearing it for the first time to hearing Chester's take on it live.

They included only tracks released (B-Side Rarities) or recorded (LPU Rarities) in 1997 - 2002 (Hybrid Theory sessions and touring cycle). Reading My Eyes was performed and released in 2006.

Looks like the Points of Authority on Forgotten Demos is probably the "stop the talk show" version

It actually is.

Oversight I guess since the B-Sides & Rarities is the only version of an HTEP on CD

Considering the In The End single contains the exact same version as the EP and the boxset contains both versions since one is vinyl and one is CD in the physical version...soooo

Yeah, it's not a problem in the physical release since they're in different formats. It looks dumb on the digital release though. I'm pretty sure it will confuse some people.

so it's all clear now. OK, so the first one is original version (not demo) and the second one is demo, I checked it and it matches with version from "Hybrid Theory 8-track Demo CD (1999)".

Did you compare the pre-chorus? That's the part that differs between the 9-track demo and 8-track demo versions. I remember comparing it but I don't remember which part of the song I got a match for. The bridge, while different from the HT EP version, is similar in both demos.

Looking on Amazon UK listing of deluxe package...

Disc 14 lists the following:
24. Beat 23 (Joe Hahn)

31. Beat 10 (Mike Shinoda)

39. Beat 4 (Mike Shinoda)

 

also 45. One Step Closer (Live from London, 9/16/2001)) doesn’t appear anywhere else. 
 

any ideas?

 

not sure which disc this is, as there’s a lot of mixed up tracks from all the other discs. 

It's from the documentary on the Projekt Revolution 2002 DVD. The sequel to Frat Party. Possibly the soundtrack used in the video. We'll have to compare it when it's out.
