Whenever I listen to the Hip's live shows, i always here rants or jams that end up as songs on future records, as well as early versions of songs. I thought it would be cool to make compilations that include jams/rants or early versions of released songs. So far, I have made three, one for fully completely, day for night and the henhouse. I am working on compilations for road apples, IBE(maybe) and Phantom powerand a next henhouse one but i thought i'd share the completed ones as soon as possible.
here are the links:

if there are any problems with the songs let me know and i will try to solve them. I'm sorry that the songs are all mp3, i could only find flac versions for some of the songs
Enjoy!

Thanks to Chris and srb for helping my searches for some of the tracks.
*and if someone could hook me up with NOIS from 08-05-95 Orlando, that would be awesome. (I need it for my next henhouse compilation)

Sounds very cool.
Can't wait to give it a listen.

Thanks for these. Cheers

I haven't downloaded it as I'm on a slow connection. I'm curious Andrew, are you familiar with the 7 Disc series entitled "Let's Gather Round the Fan"? The concept seems similar. Good efforts in contributing to the 'base!

Yeah, i have the "Let's Gather Round the Fan" series. the only difference is that my compilations are grouped by album and feature the whole songs and not just the jams/interludes.

Works now. Thanks!

Heres the one for road apples

I couldn't adapt the title of road apples the way i did to the others so i called it saskadelphia, which was what the album was almost called
Enjoy!

Great work!

So far the find of the lot for me is the New Orleans from Montreal, Aug 8 91. Solid rant with lots of Locked/Looking teases to it, but also one of the earliest appearances of Nautical - at least the music that would form Nautical. Around the 4:30 ish mark, the distinctive ending to the outro makes an appearance before ramping back up into New Orleans.

Cheers,

Pat

very cool
awesome compilations

Thanks, i'm glad everyone likes then. The next one for henhouse will be up sonn, but there are lots of songs in it and might be a while cause i'm lazy haha
