Summer In Paradise Alternate Tracklist

Well, here it is, Summer In Paradise. It's certainly an album of all time. It's definitely their worst (I don't count Stars and Stripes) but it's not as terrible as it's repuation makes it out to be. I like about 3/4s of the album, most of the songs are decent, a few I'd even consider to be good and then we're left with a few stinkers.

The big thing holding this album back is the crappy production. Underneath the messy, unnatural production, there are the workings of a much better album. The vocals we know and love are still there, they're just hindered by premature digital software, giving us wonders like the drum snares you could hear on the moon.

I know it's unlikely the original master files of SIP still exist, so it would basically be impossible to remix or create entirely new backing tracks to go with the vocals but I hope that with the advancement of AI extraction tools like the one Peter Jackson and Giles Martin have developed we'll one day get a proper remix and release of the album, hopefull we won't have to wait until 2042.

Drop your versions of the album down below. I'm interested to see what others would do for this album.
