Pretty much isolated, sort of a grab bag type approach. For example the Valentines Day one had a love songs theme so the UFO demo was used, even though there are other demos from that period that have been released on other projects and a few are still unreleased.

How did the writing customized songs for people go?

I heard a few, some were posted to facebook I believe. Some were pretty funny.

You think he will ever do it again?

Yes, he's wanting to start a new batch soon.

Do they have to be personal. I do local history research and I thought a good History Ballad would be cool. I got a lot of research I could provide.

Last time around, he said he would *try* anything... if he can't do it, he can either return your money or write it about something else.

So, I am wondering when the next Swine Before Pearls might be in the works. I thought he could do some pretty cool things. . . Terry could try a version that deals with Christ's Return -- He certainly has many songs in that category. . . Another idea could be a cover songs disc -- I think the Beatles song on the last one came out pretty awesome. Just wondering if anything is in the works. I don't think I am financially ready for the personal song, but if I come across some extra cash I will set it aside.

I would most absolutely be interested in a "back room trax" type series! The "Stunt Approved Bootlegs" don't seem to be available anymore, so that would be a welcome option!

  DA "bootleg" cuts

>>"I would most absolutely be interested in a "back room trax" type series!"

Yeah, there have been efforts with this before. The thing about Pearls before Swine (if I got that one the correct way around) is that it is such a hodge-podge and it seems that the big selling point is the "custom" cut that you can get for the increased price -- I kind of hope I don't need a flush of blood to my ego for something like that -- so that when the cut plays I can tell others, "hear that? That's about me. Terry wrote that just for me". I know that's not the only thing about it but it's the thing that stands out.

I don't know how these re-issue and deluxe efforts work: I did get the Shotgun Angel one and I did like that alot, although I was quite surprised that the demos seemed to be very close to the final versions -- it was almost that the band had this collective idea how it should sound and they just made it that way. Kind of remarkable for such a young band cutting their second album. Hopefully they made money on the effort in order to fund other things as well as to provide encouragement for additional work.
