Gewinnen ist nicht alles, gewinnen ist das einzige.Darauf dass du „Calendars and Clocks“ drin hast, hätte ich nicht getippt.
„Vacancy“ so stark? Ausgerechnet den finde ich eher durchschnittlich – für The-Coral-Verhältnisse. Sonst natürlich immer noch besser als 93% aller Lieder, die’s so gibt.

Dirty, dirty feet from the concert in the grass / I wanted to believe that freedom there could last (Willy Mason)So isser der Onkel, immer für eine Überraschung gut.
Ist halt eine Momentaufnahme. „Vacancy“ gefiel mir beim letzten Hören ausgezeichnet.
--
Gewinnen ist nicht alles, gewinnen ist das einzige.So nach 2 Wochen Laufzeit sind 12 Listen zusammengekommen in denen 88 Tracks benannt werden. Ein Track hat sich stark ein weiterer ein wenig vom Rest abgesetzt. Kein Track kommt mehr in allen Listen vor, drei sind noch in jeweils 10 Listen vertreten. Bisher schickt noch keine Platte alle Tracks ins Rennen. … bin gespannt wie es weitergeht.

Meine nächste Sendung bei Radio StoneFM am Dienstag den 27.05.2025 um 21:00: On the Decks Vol. 40: Mixed Tape #1788 Tracks sind offenbar etwas über die Hälfte aller Tracks (Songs?), die die Band veröffentlicht hat. Viel, oder? Wenn auch nicht verwunderlich. (Darunter sind nicht einmal alternative Versionen.)
Habe nichts anderes einigermaßen Aktuelles gefunden, deshalb Grok gefragt, wieviele Tracks The Coral veröffentlicht haben (glaube Grok setzt Tracks allerdings mit Songs gleich; denn alleine die Singles Collection enthält eine zweite Disc mit 21 alternativen Versionen):
To determine the total number of tracks released by The Coral as of April 2, 2025, we need to consider their discography, which includes studio albums, singles, EPs, and compilation albums. Based on available information, here’s a breakdown:
Studio Albums: The Coral have released 12 studio albums. While exact track counts for each album can vary slightly depending on editions (e.g., bonus tracks), a typical album has around 10–12 tracks. For a conservative estimate, let’s assume an average of 11 tracks per album:
12 albums × 11 tracks = 132 tracks.Singles: They’ve released 18 singles. Many singles include A-sides already on albums, but some have unique B-sides. Estimating conservatively, if half of the singles (9) include a unique B-side not on an album, that adds approximately 9 additional tracks.
EPs: Four EPs have been released. EPs typically contain 3–6 tracks. Assuming an average of 4 tracks per EP:
4 EPs × 4 tracks = 16 tracks. Some of these may overlap with singles or albums, but let’s include them for now.Compilation Albums: One compilation album, Singles Collection (2008), exists, featuring 1 new track („Being Somebody Else“) alongside previously released singles. This adds 1 unique track, as most others are duplicates.
Adding these together:
Studio albums: 132 tracksUnique single B-sides: ~9 tracks
EPs: 16 tracks
Compilation: 1 track
Total = 132 + 9 + 16 + 1 = 158 tracks
However, this total likely includes some overlap (e.g., EP tracks later included on albums or singles). Without a track-by-track discography to eliminate duplicates precisely, a reasonable adjustment is needed. Cross-referencing suggests that EPs like The Oldest Path and Skeleton Key have tracks that sometimes reappear, and many singles are album cuts. Reducing the total by an estimated 10–15 tracks for overlap, we arrive at approximately 143–148 unique tracks.
Given the continuous updates to my knowledge and the date of April 2, 2025, this accounts for their output up to their latest releases, including Sea of Mirrors and Holy Joe’s Coral Island Medicine Show (both 2023). No major releases are noted for 2024 or early 2025.
Thus, as of now, The Coral have released roughly 145 tracks, give or take a few depending on exact overlaps and any minor releases not widely documented by this date.--
Dirty, dirty feet from the concert in the grass / I wanted to believe that freedom there could last (Willy Mason):) Grok weiter:
You’re absolutely right to question the distinction between „tracks“ and „songs,“ and it’s a great point! In music terminology, „songs“ typically refer to unique compositions, while „tracks“ can encompass all recorded versions, including alternative takes, remixes, live recordings, or demos. My initial estimate of ~145 tracks leaned toward unique songs or primary releases, but if we expand to include alternative versions—like those on disc 2 of Singles Collection or other re-releases—it could significantly increase the count.
Let’s refine this. The Singles Collection (2008) is a good example: disc 1 has 18 main singles (mostly album versions), but disc 2 includes 17 additional tracks—rarities, B-sides, and alternate versions (e.g., acoustic takes, demos). That’s 35 tracks for one release alone, and not all are „new songs.“ If we apply this logic across The Coral’s career:
Studio Albums (12): Beyond the ~132 core tracks (12 × 11), deluxe editions or reissues often add alternate versions. For instance, Sea of Mirrors (2023) has a standard 13 tracks, but bonus content like acoustic versions or outtakes could push it to 15–20 tracks total. If each album averages 2–3 extra versions across reissues or special editions, that’s 12 × 3 = 36 additional tracks.Singles (18): Beyond the ~9 unique B-sides, many singles have multiple versions (e.g., radio edits, remixes). If each single averages 1–2 extra versions (common in indie rock), that’s 18 × 1.5 (average) = 27 more tracks.
EPs (4): The 16 tracks might include a remix or two, but let’s assume minimal extras here—maybe 4 additional versions total.
Compilations and Rarities: Singles Collection adds 17 alternate tracks. Other releases like The Curse of Love (recorded 2005, released 2014) or live/bonus discs could contribute another 10–20 tracks.
Live Recordings and Miscellany: The Coral have live albums (e.g., Live at Skeleton Coast) and occasional one-offs. Estimating 20–30 live or rare tracks isn’t unreasonable for a band active since 1996.
Recalculating:
Base songs: ~145 (as before)Album extras: ~36
Single extras: ~27
EP extras: ~4
Singles Collection disc 2: 17
Other rarities/live: ~25 (conservative)
Total = 145 + 36 + 27 + 4 + 17 + 25 = ~254 tracks
Your estimate of 500 tracks suggests even more versions—perhaps every single having 2–3 variants, or extensive unreleased/demo archives. Doubling the extras (e.g., 5 per album, 3 per single) could push it to 400–500, but that assumes a prolific output of alternates not fully documented by April 2025. Based on their known catalog, 250–300 tracks (including all versions) feels plausible, while 500 might be a stretch unless counting every live bootleg or unverified demo.
So, if „tracks“ means every distinct recording, I’d estimate 250–300 tracks as of now. Does that align with your thinking, or were you factoring in something specific (like a massive vault of unreleased mixes)?--
Dirty, dirty feet from the concert in the grass / I wanted to believe that freedom there could last (Willy Mason)Eine Grok-Antwort noch, die leider bestätigt, was ich befürchtet hatte. Aber Grok glaubt, dass es Aufnahmen geben könnte, die vor 2001 entstanden sind!
The Coral formed in 1996 in Hoylake, Merseyside, and spent several years jamming and performing locally before their official recorded output began. Their first formal release was the single „Shadows Fall“ in 2001, followed by The Oldest Path EP later that year. However, whether they recorded music prior to 2001—say, in the late ’90s during their formative years—is less clear from widely available sources.
Given their early gigs (e.g., a 1998 show at O’Neils in Liverpool, as noted in a band post on X), they were actively playing and developing material. Bands at that stage often record demos or rough tracks to refine their sound or pitch to labels. Alan Wills, who founded Deltasonic after discovering them, first saw them live when they hadn’t yet released anything, suggesting their pre-2001 work was unrecorded or unreleased publicly. Yet, their rapid evolution from local gigs to a polished 2001 debut implies some prior recording activity, likely informal.
For instance, by 2001, they’d written „Skeleton Key“ after exposure to eclectic influences (Can, Captain Beefheart) via Wills’ friend Joe Fearon—a turning point, per bassist Paul Duffy. This suggests they were crafting songs for years, and it’s plausible they laid down demos in rehearsal spaces like Crash Studios, where Wills first encountered them. The 2022 reissue of their debut album includes two previously unreleased tracks from 2001 sessions („She’s the Girl for Me“ and „Tumble Graves“), but nothing explicitly predates that year.
Without definitive evidence—like a confirmed demo tape or bootleg from 1996–2000—it’s speculative. Still, given their trajectory and the era’s DIY culture (cheap tape recorders, local studios), it’s reasonable to infer they recorded something informally before 2001, even if it never saw daylight. No official pre-2001 recordings are documented, but I’d bet on basement tapes or lost rehearsal takes existing somewhere, known only to the band or early insiders.
So, to answer: no confirmed pre-2001 recordings are known publicly, but it’s likely they made unofficial ones during their pre-Deltasonic days.The Coral’s early days are definitely a treasure trove of intrigue.

Distance Inbetween muss ich auch mal wieder hören. („Connector“ habe ich überhaupt nicht im Kopf.) Warum gibt’s das eigentlich nicht auf Spotify? Muss man extra die CD rauskramen …
