Old ... and Improved Fidelity
We're all familiar with the crusty "11 Tracks of Whack Outtakes" that
have been banging around the interwebs for a couple of decades.
Sure, they're neat sounding tunes--- what we can hear of them,
anyway.
It sounds like the versions out there are some advanced generation
of an old cassette. We found the first generation cassette. Add some
nifty modern digitization tools, a tweak or two from superfan Dan Belcher, and
NOW we've got something to hear!
We're starting with Sanpaku ....

.....and Ghost of Hipness Past.

We'll get to the others eventually. But in the meantime, please to enjoy
the creamy goodness of these tunes sounding quite a bit more like
God and Becker made 'em.
Great sounding versions also on our Downloads page, as usual.
Jeez -- Dan, Matt -- coming through to save the day. I'm beginning to feel a little more like The Damsel In Distress than I'm comfortable with. Watch out: compensation for such states usually involves a lot of testosterone (and yeah, we got some too)
A thousand thanks for replacing my dim and hissy but beloved Ghost Of Hipness Past. I even took the poor thing through Audacity to remove the gaping hole in the fade that although annoying did nothing to diminish such beauty. My first time here and I'm looking forward to all the little treasures I've already shoveled into my sack. Thanks again. 1001.
