We've heard these versions before - All 3 are from 'Tourfilm', which was all filmed in Greensboro. I Remember California was previously released on the Shiny Happy People Limited Edition CD.

Yes, we have but they all sound very fresh to my ears. Probably because I haven't watched Tourfilm (aside from a clip here and there on YouTube) in ages. I'd also say the sound quality is vastly improved, though those with more audiophile tendencies have said it's very compressed. I listened to the EP last weekend at the beach with the volume cranked up and the windows down but I can't say I really noticed anything. Then again, I'm no audiophile so I probably wouldn't anyway.

I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

Schoolkids Records in Raleigh has yet to replenish their stock (they sold out of Green on CD on the day of release) but thank goodness for indie record stores as Offbeat Music in Durham had several copies in stock (and at a very reasonable price at that).
