Ween - The Mollusk (Promotional Cassette Rough Mixes) (Pt. 1) (HQ)

A reupload of this old video, now with stereo and much higher quality. I will release this in 2 parts! I hope you all enjoy! Sorry for the cutout during Mutilated Lips and the weird start of the album, the quality had gone down a lot in those places.

Early mixes of The Mollusk off of an uncirculated promotional cassette sent in to Mushroom Records around late 1996 (or early 1997). Many of these mixes are quite different, every song is noticeably different with louder backing vocals, certain instruments being used differently/completely missing, and generally just different mixing. Credit to Mr. H for sending me the files for this amazing find!

On the title track, at 3:33, i can more clearly hear them saying “yes…no…” in the background with all that echo, and now i FINALLY understand why they say “yes, no” in the live version.

Hi, do you own this tape? I just got my hands on a mushroom promo copy and I’m wondering if it’s the same. Does it have a track listing on the front with a boognish in the back?

Hey! Love what you're doing here, saw in the comment sections of some other videos that there's a discord server for the archived stuff, any chance I could get a link if the server's still up?

[ninetheninth]

weren't these released on CD at some point? there's a promo CD on discogs that says it has early mixes, are these different from those?
