D: true believer records. 001 / 19 tracks / 1993 (bootleg)

Greg Sage reissued this LP on CD-R in 2000. From Greg Sage’s website: “There are some acoustic versions of songs recorded live in Holland for [Radio Holland] where I was given a right handed classical guitar with the fattest neck I have ever seen. When told that I play left handed, they said, well do the best you can since you are under contract to play an acoustical set live. I had 15 minutes to learn how to play an upside down guitar and you can tell how nervous I was. All in all it came off good.”

Bootleg collection with complete Better Off Dead 7” (very noisy recording!), B side of Romeo 7”, compilation tracks from 10-29-79 LP, Trap LP, Sub Pop 100 LP, Satyricon LP, all other are live tracks from Dutch and German radio shows: 10+11 live 1986 Hilversum, Holland, 12-14 Greg Sage solo live Mar 29 1989, Hilversum, 15-19 live Apr 2 1989 Oberhausen, Germany. Sound quality is above average. OK if you don’t have the rare records. [7]  

Hatte mich schon gefragt, wie man mit den “Complete Rarities” der Wipers eine ganze LP füllen kann… und richtig, die komplette B-Seite ist live. Single-Tracks (die ersten drei Tracks sind SEHR rauschig), B-Seiten und Samplerbeiträge, dazu eben Liveaufnahmen aus drei Radioshows in akzeptabler Qualität. Lohnt für die Leute, die die Studiotracks noch nicht kennen.

Tracks: better off dead / up in flames / does it hurt / same old thing / my vengeance / the story / nothin’ to prove / no solution / what became of us / straight ahead // land of the lost / goodbye again / time marches on / blue & red / the chill remains / seems so clear / time marches on / goodbye again / good thing
