Synopsis

Product Description

This is a 2-CD set of all previously unreleased vintage Pearls Before Swine recordings. Disc one features '60s and '70s home demos, out-takes, various studio recordings, works in progress -- many songs that never appeared on any Pearls Before Swine albums, various cover songs, experiments, and just an amazing view of Tom Rapp's personal tape archives. Disc two features a complete early '70s live concert performance, as well as other vintage '70s live recordings and radio sessions.

CD Reviews

It's here, it happened

Franz | Athens, GA | 08/10/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's here, it happened: a cornucopia of Pearls Before Swine artifacts saw the light of day on two discs culled from the shoeboxes Tom Rapp kept under his bed for so long. Whether Pearls Before Swine has been underrated, ignored, forgotten - it doesn't matter: those who knew the band firsthand or a generation later will hold this set close to their heart, as it is a personal gift from Tom."
