'96/97 ALRIGHT THEN

This is the fourth part of my series of Beck compilations. It is made up of the singles, b-sides, compilation tracks and live on the radio shows that he did before and during the Odelay era.

I am copying and pasting this blurb from '93 Feelings to give some hindsight:
---
Beck has so much goddamn music out there. He was insanely prolific from 1993 to 1998 which always made me crazy when people referred to him as a slacker. He released close to 100 songs as singles, b-sides, outtakes, compilation tracks, remixes, and live on air sessions. That is on top of releasing the following albums: Golden Feelings, A Western Harvest Field By Moonlight, Stereopathetic Soulmanure, Mellow Gold, One Foot In The Grave, Odelay and Mutations. Seven albums, fifteen singles, eight collaborations, twenty seven compilation tracks, remixes of and from various musicians and a bunch of videos. There's also a missing album he recorded with Jon Spencer's Blues Explosion; nthe unreleased follow K Records follow up to One Foot In The Grave and an album he made that would have been "a more rock-based follow-up to Mellow Gold, an album that sounds like a Pavement, Sebadoh kind of thing”. All of this in a span of 5 years. That's fucking insane.

To make "96/97 Alright Then" I used the bonus songs, remixes, singles and b-sides from "Odelay"; The non-album single, Deadweight; An outtake from the unreleased K-Records follow up; Plus a live song from KCRW.
