rockville records. rock 6061-2 / 22 tracks / 1991

Demos, outtakes and compilation tracks (from Odd Man Out 7”, 77 KK II LP and Every Band has a Shonen Knife… LP). Music from all phases of this band, ranging from early hardcore to the more rock/emo influenced songs. Some of the alternate versions show clearly why the band chose another version for their releases, others have a special charme that makes them better than the official versions. All in all, mostly for fans. (TB) [6]

Raritäten und Outtakes quer durch alle Phasen dieser vielseitigen Band; vom typischen frühen DC-HC über die leicht psychedelischen Tracks um ’85 bis zu neuerem, rockigen Material. Leider hört man den Songs z.T. recht deutlich an, weshalb sich GI auf ihren LPs für andere Versionen entschieden haben, vieles klingt dünn oder unausgegoren, andere dagegen kommen als Demoversion fast besser. (TB)
