246. Sonic Youth - classic (bootleg)

For some reason a while back (and it is still up, see link below) SY posted a ton of mp3's that were out of print. Some have reappeared as bonus tracks on last year's 'Dirty' deluxe re issue, but the majority I believe are only available on ebay or in used bins. I downloaded all 35 tracks and burnt three discs worth of stuff. There are half a dozen or so of live tracks, ranging from very early stuff to 'goo' era stuff, another six or so outakes/goofing around tracks (and really goofing around, nothing grounded in musical theory whatsoever) and then there are the gems, at least for me; I am a sucker for demos, instrumental versions of songs and alternates takes. The 'kool thing' demo, 'little trouble girl' instrumental and 'diamond sea' alternate are worth the download time, even on dial up. Visit the link and add these to your collection.
