It's a bootleg.

Look around Soulseek for it, no one minds if you pirate from the bootleggers.

Also, at least half of this stuff is just the normal, readily-available versions re-named as "demos" or taken from an alternate release though identical to the album versions. Much of what is novel is also trivial.

Not worth it.

thanks, but what is "stations"? is it a pre-big black band?

I agree - for completists only. The stuff you have not heard is just random crap. Not released for a good reason.

Frankly the only Big Black bootleg that I think is at all worthwhile is Sound of Impact.

Oh come on, what do you know.


Where else could one get Rema Rema?

"Every Man For Himself" is a great song.

The band Steve played bass in before Big Black. They weren't very good.

I think aside from 'Rema Rema' and 'Il Duce', you could do without hearing any of this stuff.

Totally worth it! It's a nice baggie of coke.

i am interested in these:

4. Hunter Safety (Tommy Bartlett Dies In Pain) (Middle Of America Comp)
5. Il Duce (Il Duce 7'')
6. Burning Indian Wife (Happiness Is Dry Pants)
7. Rema Rema (Rema Rema 7'')

9. Crack Up (God's Favorite Dog Comp)
10. Every Man For Himself (God's Favorite Dog Com
