pthThe tracklisting for the Radio Birdman boxset has leaked via a UK online retailer. The seven disc set (six CDs and a DVD) is slated for release in early October. 

Update: Citadel Mail Order is taking pre-orders here.

Information from the band that the Paddington Town Hall gig (cover pictured at right) would be the jewel in the box set crown appears to be spot-on with the core of the release being familiar. There is enough meat on the bones in the form of bonus material, however, to satisfy most people.

The band's out-of-print EPs and some startling alternate versons and demo songs are being included although some live material that's been doing the rounds of fans for years is remaining in the vault. 

The package will be replete with a treasure trove of previously unseen photos, painstakingly recovered from damaged negatives in some cases, and an authoritative essay by journalist and original fan Toby Cresswell. 

"Radios Appear" – the "black" (Trafalagar Records) and "white" (Sire Records) versions – will be released in their original form with a companion disc of outtakes. The Trafalgar version will include the "Burn My Eye" EP with a whopping eight outtakes as a bonus.

Alternate arrangements of "Aloha Steve and Danno" and "Love Kills" are on the Sire release bonus disc.

"Living Eyes" will be presented in original and remixed forms with outtakes of "Dark Surprise", "Didn't Tell The Man" and "Death By The Gun" finally officially available. "If I Wanted To" is a notable absence. There's an original demo of "Crying Sun" - the song that was a point of contention between band members after a Rockfield Studios mixdown. 

Two tracks from a black-and-white video of a performance at Macquarie University in 1976 (restored from a very rough tape) feature on a DVD. Licensing some prime footage from the ABC proved too expensive.

Release dates are October 10 in Australia and October 28 in the USA and Europe.
