Don produced "Living in a Ghost Town." GOATS HEAD SOUP DELUXE and TATTOO YOU DELUXE were completed in lockdown by Mick and Matt Clifford. Matt is not credited as a producer on the deluxe editions. Original production credits only. Reduced budgets for both projects are another reason Don was not engaged.
You might recall Don called "Scarlet" "a hit then and a hit now" when doing promotion for EXILE DELUXE in 2010. Allegedly some of the outtakes on both GOATS HEAD SOUP DELUXE and TATTOO YOU DELUXE were already reworked in 2009 and some of the tracks were likewise prepped at the start of the Virgin Records contract in 1993. Apparently they have been playing with these tracks for a very long time with an eye on releasing them in 1994, 1999, 2002, and then starting in 2010. Various ideas floating around for how to bring them out. We just might see more this year with the possibility of outtakes from DIRTY WORK forward being collected as a package. And yes, some of them have more recent overdubs. Time will tell.

BEYOND THE GROOVE was actually an odd short-lived TV series. A 30 minute format. Only 6 episodes were produced. It was really just a series of music videos strung loosely together by a narrative of David Rappaport taking a road trip. The version of "Memory Motel" used had been cut for PRIMITIVE COOL. A version of "Fool To Cry" was also recorded but has never surfaced.
As for MEMORY HOTEL, a source at Virgin had said it was a planned two-part Japanese CD-single for "Memory Motel." The two discs would have been issued separately as CD singles each with "Memory Motel" plus 3 bonus tracks. One of the six bonus tracks was to have been the outtake, "Ever Changing World." That said, Don Was had discussed doing a proper 2-CD set of outtakes from BRIDGES TO BABYLON, VOODOO LOUNGE, and even a bit of STEEL WHEELS. It would have also included some alternate takes such as a straight bluesy version of "Might As Well Get Juiced" without The Dust Brothers' fingerprints on it. Additional overdubs were required to finish some of the material. Allegedly, Keith was up for it, but Mick wasn't. Don has suggested returning to the project to Universal several times over the last few years.
Mind you, others will dismiss all I have said as completely wrong.
