I’m a bit late on this one but The Temperance Movement, via Earache Records, will release a compilation of rarities. Some are original material, when others are covers. Hence the title “Covers & Rarities”.
If you follow this blog, you’ve been one of the first to discover “You Fool No One – Live at Metropolis”. And this one is the first single.
And forgive me the page layout, I just updated WordPress and need to tune it a bit!
The tracklisting will be this one :
- You Fool No One (feat. Ian Paice)
- Up In The Sky
- Tender
- Houses Of The Holy
- Ziggy Stardust (Live)
- Already Know
- Mother’s Eyes
- Turn
- Centrefold
- Do The Revelation
- Time Won’t Leave
- Long Run
In depth tracklisting analysis
1 – You Fool No One
This one is a real rarities, as it’s the first time it appears in the Temp’s catalog.
2 – Up In The Sky and 3 – Tender
They were released on 7″ vinyl for Record Store Day 2015, and on a promo CD.
4 – Houses Of The Holy
It was available on the Mojo “Physical Graffiti Redrawn” Led Zep’s hommage in 2015, on vinyl and CD.
5 – Ziggy Stardust (Live)
This cover was released in 2017, again for Record Store Day on two 7″ vinyl (black and gold).
6 – Already Know
A bonus track fo the first album, that was an iTunes exclusive.
7 – Mother’s Eyes and 8 -Turn
Again from the first album, they were bonus tracks on the vinyl edition of the album.
9 – Centrefold
This original song is from White Bear, in 2015, and was only available on Deezer, the digital platform. It’s on YouTube by now.
10 – Do The Revelation
It’s another White Bear excerpt and was a Spotify exclusive, until White Bear hits the US market, in 2016, where it was a CD bonus track.
11 – Time Won’t Leave
It was a Flying Vinyl exclusive, in December 2015, only available on a 7″ vinyl. Then it was on a promo CD (tip me if you have one!) and, again, on the White Bear US CD, in 2016, as a bonus track.
12 – Long Run
This closing track is, like the opening one, a real rarities. It was only played live and it vanished. But it was recorded in the studio! This track is exclusive to all the digital platforms.

So this album is a must have for completist, or just fans, of the Temperance Movement. You can be both, I reassure you!
In my opinion Long Run and You Fool No One can justify themselves the purchase of this album.
