Title: Bob Mould Interview
Format: Cassette
Label: Virgin Records
Catalog Number: None
Release Date: Early? 1989
Time: 50 minutes
Notes: Interview with Bob Mould conducted by Darryl Morden,
probably early in 1989, interspersed with songs from
Workbook and a "live in studio" performance* of
"Lonely Afternoon." This item, released as a 60-
minute CrO2 cassette with dot-matrix-printed inlay
card, almost certainly preceded the more fancily-
packaged "notebook" sampler/interview described
below. Track times are approximate (based on
notoriously inaccurate cassette player time
displays).

Notes: Same interview as in plain-packaged promo cassette
described above, but preceded by four Workbook
tracks, all of which are repeated during the
interview segment. Except for this sampler segment,
the content of the two promo cassettes is identical,
including the solo acoustic performance* of "Lonely
Afternoon." The packaging of this item is designed
to look like a school notebook. Recorded on 90-
minute cassette. Track times approximate.

Catalog Number: CMJ CD-017
Date Recorded: Unknown
Release Date: April 1989
Time: 69:42
Notes: Bob track leads off the CD, but the artist is
listed as "???" on the back inlay. He's properly
identified on the disk itself and in the insert
booklet, which declares: "A fairly drastic but
welcome departure from Husker Du's speed-of-sound
sonic roar, Bob Mould's first solo LP exposes a
folkier, more melodic and introspective, less
abrasive side of his voice, music and personality.
As on much of the album, acoustic guitars and a
subtle string arrangement are at the fore here,
with a neo-'60s melody and some fairly heavy lyrics
breaking through the glimmering sound like the sun
through the clouds over Minneapolis." Oddly, the
album title, Workbook, is never mentioned (perhaps
not yet known when the liner notes were written).

Title: GoldDisc
Format: CD
Label: TM Century
Catalog Number: 1799
Date Recorded: Aug-Nov 1986
Release Date: 1993?
Time: 67:21
Notes: The GoldDisc series of CDs is a product line aimed
at radio stations for broadcast use and sorted into
various categories (adult contemporary, Christmas,
oldies, etc). There appear to be about 2500 such
CDs in print. This one falls into the "Alternative"
category. TM Century (which became TM Studios in
2008) has been putting these out since 1987. The
release year given above as 1993 is just a guess,
based on the fact that the most recent track on the
disc dates to 1992. Some of the other artists
include Pantera, the Replacements, Ace Frehley,
REM, Moody Blues, Anthrax, UFO. The tracks all
sound highly compressed, not unexpected for a
product designed for radio airplay.

in the artwork.

Notes: Four and a half hours, 72 tracks on this ponderous
compendium celebrating 10 years (1987-1997) of
Virgin's commitment to its vision of contemporary
rock. There's considerable emphasis on commercially
successful artists (Janet Jackson, Spice Girls, Tina
Turner). It's difficult to imagine anyone having
the patience to listen to this thing all the way
through. The Mould track, from 1989's Workbook,
appears on disk 1. Black Sheets, for whatever
reason, is not represented.

Notes: The artwork on the front and back inlays looks like
the real thing; gone is the generic Rykodisc "TV set"
motif. Advertised street date is 25 Aug 1998. No
musicians are credited in the accompanying notes,
but the following rather ominous statement does
appear: "The release of The Last Dog And Pony
Show. precedes Mould's final tour with a full-on,
loud electric rock band. Featuring a newly-assembled
four-member group, the tour will effectively retire
the live performance of the sound that Mould made
famous."

Notes: The title track is only listed once, as a "radio
edit," but appears three times on the CD. If there
are any differences among the tracks, they are not
at all obvious. The "radio edit" version of the
song is shorter than the album version, and features
a sanitized lyric: "They're fucking around with
each other, something has to give" is replaced by
what sounds like "They're picking around...."

Label: Full Frequency Music
Catalog Number: none
Date Recorded: 2005-2006
Release Date: Jun? 2006
Credited: Bob Mould
Richard Morel
Time: 54:42
Notes: Screen-printed disk, one-sheet insert, slimline
jewel case. A true CD (not CDR). No catalog
number in evidence anywhere. "Full Frequency
Music" appears to be an offshoot of the Blowoff
operation. No credits listed for specific vocals
or instruments, but Bob sings lead vocals unless
otherwise indicated: on tracks marked (*), Rich
sings lead with Bob (usually) backing; on those
marked (**), lead vox are shared or alternating.
Vocal on "Tag It" (!) is in the Stephen Hawking/
computer voice. Songwriting/arranging credited to
Blowoff. It's interesting to note that "Beautiful"
is the same song as "Lost Zoloft" (off Modulate),
albeit rearranged and slowed down a bit.
