smilin’ ear records. se 009 / 9 tracks / 1991

CD version has three bonus tracks. 2×7” version has a 20 page booklet and label catalog (Flex Book 2 said 80 copies made, but that is definitely wrong, there are at least 1000-2000).

The vinyl version of a previously released live cassette called “Bike - Toy - Clock - Gift” (No Threes Records). Recorded live at the Vogue, Seattle, Sep 21 1988 and at Seattle Center Mural Amphitheater, Aug 15 1988. Sound quality is very good, but the singer has some intonation problems. Live versions of many hits plus some unreleased songs. Double 7” version omits six songs from the LP, but adds three songs not on the LP; CD has all the songs. [7]

Für alle Fastbacks-Junkies (wie mich) hier noch etwas Futter: 12 Livetracks aus dem Jahr 1988. Soundqualität ist sehr gut & klar; hin und wieder stößt die Sängerin in Sachen Intonation an ihre Grenzen, aber das stört insgesamt nur wenig. Dafür bekommt man ein paar unveröffentlichte Songs und Liveversionen von vielen genialen Fastbacks-Hits. Yup.

Tracks: //2×7” tracks: //in the winter / “k” street // don’t cry for me / swallow my pride / trouble sleeping /// brighton rock / love you more // wrong wrong wrong / roll away the stone
