I agree with this 100%. I always preferred the BBC Session of Enneagram. When that fuzz bass kicks in at 1:12, holy. Revolutionary before its time.

Those live recordings and studio pieces like Enneagram or Zabaglione with "auditorium" preset on my audio manager suggest to which extent Egg & related projects were completely "muzzled" in studio (Arzachel less so)

I might end up buying Metronomical Society just to complete my catalogue.

At one point they turned into my greatest of all time prog act. It hurts to know that they were brimming with musical creativity but didn't make enough money to continue. They basically recorded those two albums over a year (the albums were released over 2 years though because the label totally stiffed them), and then Mont Campbell the guy who wrote a modern Stravinsky-esque progressive epic Egg Symphony No. 2 , or the most beautifully nostalgic track A Visit to Newport Hospital , just completely took his song writing ability and quit Rock music. Sure he made World music in the 80s til now, but it's nothing like the classically influenced Prog era of Egg.

Hi friends, I come to you with another request for finding lost or archived songs from the bands we love the most. This time it's Egg. These aren't lost tracks this time, they just don't seem to exist on the internet as far as YouTube, Spotify goes.

Basically, there was an archival release of unreleased Egg tracks in 2007 called The Metronomical Society.

There are 3 songs that were unreleased (apart from on this album) and have not managed to surface on the internet yet.

Official release (temporarily lost) tracks from Egg - The Metronomical Society 2007
7. There's No Business Like Show Business
8. Blane Over Camden (Found and updated post)
12. I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside




Bootleg album Egg - Saturn (2015) with more 'lost' tracks:
C2: Saturn - The Bringer of Old Age (live 1971)
D4: Swooping Bill
D5: Ego Man
D6: The Salesman Song
D7: Saturn - The Bringer of Old Age



Does anyone have these released on a public site (legally)? Or were they only released on this CD. 

Lastly, there is a .fr domain website that has a timeline of every Canterbury band, it has Egg's entire timeline including a trackilist of songs they played (never recorded to my knowledge, or never released). These included covers of The Nice songs as well as other blues stuff. Just a cool piece of history, can't remember this french website about Canterbury bands but I hope someone remembers it.

Update: Another rare release, this was a bootleg back in the day and it was Egg's last concert ever. 
Dave Stewart (LEGENDARY keyboardist of Egg, Arzachel/Uriel, Hatfield and the North and National Health) said about The Roundhose Tapes bootleg: "Some of the music was recorded at our last-ever London gig at the Roundhouse in July 1972; those tapes reflect exactly how the band sounded to me on stage, with a bite, attack and visceral power that our '70s albums failed to capture."

 This album was only recently actually uploaded in a good quality 2 months ago (since it's ripped from Vinyl). The old release from years back used a terrible vinyl to USB pickup and the album had pitch modulation and fuzz (not the canterbury prog kind!).
