Hi......saw a bit about the Limited Edition of 'Songs from the Crystal Cave' in another thread, and since I've come across one(actually it was a back order for the standard version but they sent both)...here's the story with this version.....
1st off....the price is exactly the same as the standard(or was)...the the limited does not come with the poster(tho' the standard ones aren't including it either even tho' the sticker on the front says it's inside)....anyway....
2nd the most noticable thing of course is the bonus (live) track 15 at the end of the CD..'Red Rooster'(and yes..Seagal sings it..it's a tradition blues song).
and since the album now contains a DVD also(looks exaclty as the CD except color red)...the case had to be modified to contain 2 discs...this is when I noticed the the back cover has been re-printed...there has been the removal of that BS stevenseagal.com site address and replaced with Official Seagal Music site as....
Steven Seagal Official Music Site
it's a branch off the non-soloblues site but a bit different(why they have him playing guitar left handed is beyond me)...contains a few gallery pics(that we've seen)..a brief biography page and some of the usual info. about the CD adding the extra info. about the limited edition... the concert page was still 'under construction' when I was there the other day.
The DVD contains the music video of Girl It's Alright
DVD menu
(same one we have here minus the TV logo and the nonsoloblues credit screen at the very beginning)
and a second "Makin Of' video which is about 3mts tops...and it seems to be the acompanying brief interview with Seagal about the release of the album
Interview
..why he chose to shoot the video in Thailand...a couple of brief behind the scenes shots of the video along with scenes of the finished video.
the DVD also contains what they call a biography which is really no more than the info. on the music web-site in DVD form..like the info. on some of the Seagal films...flip the forward button to read the pages one at a time..this is in English or French depending what your choice is and the interview video clip is in English with French sub-titles......
Biography
Now I have to warn you....being the album was released in France...the DVD is in PAL format....
another interesting change I saw was the album itself has the running order of tracks 1-6 completely different from the standard version....
as listed here:
Standard Edition
01. Girl It's Alright
02. Don't You Cry
03. Music
04. Better Man
05. Route 23
06. My God
07. Lollipop
08. Not For Sale
09. Dance
10. Jealousy
11. War
12. Strut
13. Gouree
14. The Light
Limited Edition
01. Better Man
02. Music
03. Route 23
04. Girl It's Alright
05. Don't You Cry
06. My God
07. Lollipop
08. Not For sale
09. Dance
10. Jealousy
11. War
12. Strut
13. Goree
14. The Light
15. Red Rooster(bonus)
Now being I ordered a couple of standard versions and they happened to send one limited version I thought I'd 'share' this bonus track...'specially if you paid out for the standard version(tho' you did get a poster)...if you have some kind of a troubled consciense about it...simply don't download it..and please don't jump on Craig because it's on some of my web-space..not his...
so to everyone ......have a safe and kind Holiday Season and perhaps enjoy this extra track from "Songs from the Crystal Cave' as a bit of 'good tiding'..
