Spirit - Model Shop

Recommended Posts

As I mentioned in the other Spirit thread, there is some confusion regarding the soundtrack to the Jacques Demy film Model Shop that the group Spirit put together. The soundtrack finally came out just a few years ago, but snippets appeared over the years on the albums (or CD reissues as bonus tracks) The Family That Plays Together and Clear, as well as the compilation Time Circle. If you believe wikipedia, the tracks on the soundtracks are either different mixes or in fact completely different versions of the tunes from the other records. I am wondering if there is any overlap between the soundtrack and the other albums. Sometimes the timings are the same, sometimes not. Specifically, here is how the songs on the soundtrack match up or do not match up to those on the other records. Note that composer credits on the web are not consistent.

Is The Moving Van 1:56 the same as Model Shoppe Theme (The Moving Van) 2:58 from Time Circle?

Is Mellow Fellow 2:50 the same as Mellow Fellow 3:48 from Family?

Is Now Or Anywhere 4:40 the same as Now Or Anywhere 4:22 from Family?

Is Fog 2:25 the same as Fog 2:25 from Family?

Is Green Gorilla 2:13 the same as Green Gorilla 2:19 from Time Circle?

Does Model Shop I 2:02 appear on any other album in another form?

Is Model Shop II (Clear) 4:10 the same as Clear 4:09 from Clear?

Is The Rehearsal Theme 1:11 the same as The Rehearsal Theme 1:13 from Time Circle?

Is Song For Lola 5:47 related to Ice 5:52 from Clear as Wikipedia suggests?

Is Eventide 3:56 the same as Eventide 4:22 from Time Circle?

Is Coral 4:22 the same as Coral 3:05 from Clear?

Is Aren't You Glad 5:25 the same as Aren't You Glad 5:31 from Family?

Two more issues not related to Model Shop:

Sherozode 2:12 from Time Circle is apparently an out-take from Family, but is not on the CD reissue of Family

What session does the track Turn To The Right 3:47 belong to?

Thanks!

Bertrand.
