Mutton Birds - B-Sides & RaritiesVolumes 1 & 2

I found these last night, you must listen to these records. 'Anchor Me' two versions , 'Pulled Along By Love' two versions .... you won't be disappointed. I keep coming back to edit this post, their cover of 'Don't Fear The Reaper' Blue Oyster Cult...... outstanding.....this collection......my new favourite record

A note from Don - The name 'B-Sides & Rarities' is a little misleading for this collection as it's all live (mostly audience) recordings, never officially released. (Volume 3 coming later, sorry busy). All the available studio recordings were gathered together for the first two volumes of this series. This one does however feature some hard to find tracks, such as Come Sunday, Stay Hungry and Helicopter Pilot, Don's recent live recording of Queen's English with the Auckland Chamber Orchestra, the first ever public airing of Green Lantern (recorded at the 12 Bar Club in Feb '98), and some audio from live TV performances. The rest are mainly personal choices of particularly good live performances, some of which I've tweaked and removed some back-ground hiss from.
