boppin' buddha co. (scratched out) / 21 tracks / 1994 (bootleg)

Collection of outtakes from the 1983 Zen Arcade sessions. Unreleased versions of great songs, so this is a great CD for fans by default (all others can live with the official versions I guess). Sound quality is OK, but the volume is “breathing” sometimes, like they used a simple noise gate for processing. This is a subset of the 3 CD-R set with outtakes, so you might want to go for that one anyway. [7]

Outtakes der 1983-Sessions für die Zen Arcade LP - das bedeutet unveröffentlichte Versionen toller Songs - also was Feines für Fans; Normalsterbliche brauchen das nicht. Der Sound ist in Ordnung, nur “atmet” die Aufnahme in leiseren Passagen ein wenig.
