YOUR FLEXIBLE FRIENDS
Have a look here for the full Orange Juice discography.
Other than the ultra-rare and now very expensive debut Postcard single and the Felicity flexidisc given away with the fanzine, I'm delighted to say that via purchases at the time, rummages around e-bay and finding a couple of things in second hand shops, I've now got the lot, all of which, including the b-sides, I finally got round to converting to mp3 files the other day. *
The flexidisc that came with Bridge contains one of today's rare offerings for your enjoyment:-
mp3 : Orange Juice - Poor Old Soul (flexidisc version)
One of their oldest and best songs. I'm certain that the flexidisc version is a unique recording, live in the studio.
The other mp3 is the flexidisc pictured above:-
mp3 : Orange Juice - The Day I Went Down To Texas (flexidisc version)
This came out with the single Flesh Of My Flesh and is a slightly different recording than that which subsequently appeared on the LP Texas Fever.
I'm happy to take requests for anyone looking for the b-sides or anything else. **
* Still on the look out for the debut single. I am prepared to pay good money for it as well.....
** Still willing to take requests. But watch out for a boxed-set of stuff due out on Domino Records in the not too distant future......
Oh and here's another flexidisc that I didn't include back in May 2007 - one that came with the 7" version of Lean Period - as I was in the habit in those days of only including two songs per posting to save on bandwith.
mp3 : Orange Juice - Rip It Up (live)
mp3 : Orange Juice - What Presence?! (live)
Happy Listening

Genius. Never heard these ones JC. Have never even SEEN them! You've made my weekend! God bless you!
What I do still have is the bought cassette version of 'The Orange Juice' album which has all these extended versions of a lot of the trax. Does anyone know if they were different to the 12" singles or not?

JC you can have my minty Falling And Laughing for £1000!

Great stuff, thanks. Regarding the Domino collection, is that an Orange Juice set? Would really love to see a Postacard Records Box set as I've yert to find that second Aztec Camera 45.
Rich C. You're a tease......
Anon. Your search is over.....
Thanks for these. I have all the flexis mentioned but they are stored away safely in my mum's loft, 6,000 miles away. ;)
Mona - the extended versions on the b-side of the 3rd album cassette were the same as the versions on the 12" singles
Those 2 live tracks are from the Dada With Juice video, but they feature extended between song banter that isn't on the video!
Cheers for this Jim - my rip of the Texas flexi is ultra crackly so always good to hear anothers attempt
