Well, I didn´t know about this until now. They released their first LP + the Sippin' Time Sessions EP for the 20th Anniversary, so I was fuckin´ glad that we finally get to hear this sessions in all its glory, but no, I thought Pearl Jam were the only band that frustrate their fans so bad. What a miss opportunity, this is the tracklist of the EP:
01. Dear Ol’ Dad
02. Soul One
03. Tones Of Home
04. Seed To A Tree
05. Mother
Thanks for "Mother", but where is "What you lost?", this is a 20th Anniversary edition, you should release a proper deluxe edition, goddamit! So many unreleased songs from other sessions of the same period (Goodfoot Workshop Demos) waiting in the dark: Rebirth, Ever Had The Feeling, Tickled Pink...yet so few. As I said, what a miss opportunity.
Argh!

Awesome, thanks for posting these, don't think I've ever heard them before. Extremely talented bunch. I can't get into them with the new singer though. I still feel the self titled album, despite the fact that No Rain was huge, was very underrated as a whole. An excellent album from start to finish. Soup was a classic as well.

I used to love them - regrettably I often forget about them for years and then remember that they were great. Still love the main albums and that compilation that came out with Soul One etc.

The other day I was listening to the first album for the first time in a long time and wow I forgot how amazing the guitar interplay is....there are a million riffs and parts and neither guy is playing the same thing...it's one of the finest examples of a duel guitar band album ever no hyperbole. I love the second album but a lot of the brilliance in the guitar playing is watered down and simplistic....not sure if it was an intentional choice or if they were rushed or something else entirely. In my darkest moments I wonder if they used studio musicians on that first album the difference is so stark. Probably not I'm just still jaded after finding out that Aerosmith used studio guys on A Train Kept a Rollin' which blew my mind and set me adrift in a fog of depression that I still can't escape.
