Because the Jarv Is... album has been postponed for 4 months, I decided to construct a substitute to keep myself entertained until then. I've entitled it (Almost) Beyond The Pale.
I've used the studio versions of Evolve and House Music and filled in the rest of the gaps with live recordings from the Steel Yard gig (with all banter edited out).
Ahhhh. The YouTube posts have been removed. must have been a record company mistake or auto-post they had set on there. So, I guess those werent supposed to be put up afterall! Oops.
Such poor monitoring/control by the record label. Jarvis might not care but if they had wanted to make it available for streaming they would have had a campaign/press to go with it so someone at Rough Trade is probably getting a bollocking.
Weirdly, yesterday I was listening to the recording of the London gig they did in March, aware that it was the first gig since the album had been recorded so listening-out for any changes in lyrics/arrangement to the previous live versions. And not listening to Save The Whale on purpose as I want to hear one new song fresh via the recorded version. For those who have ripped it, can you post the track times? Curious if the album is over the 40 minute mark.

I'd definitely put my money on this being something automated that whoever runs the YouTube channel set up and promptly forgot about.
@Eamonn - It seems that the YouTube videos are still on YouTube, but have been geographically blocked in all countries (presumably until September). As such, the track times are still listed, and are as follows:
Save the Whale - 4:31
MUST I EVOLVE? - 6:41
Am I Missing Something? - 6:47
House Music All Night Long - 5:55
Sometimes I Am Pharaoh - 5:18
Swanky Modes - 4:36
Children of the Echo - 6:32
Which I make to be 40:20 in total (not factoring in any differences the YouTube uploads may have to the original tracks; I used the time for the Google Play version of MUST I EVOLVE? instead of the YouTube time as there is an intro video on the YouTube upload)
