This is a fan-curated
Aztec Camera bootleg of sorts, with the emphasis placed on
Roddy Frame's pre-
High Land Hard Rain recordings, consisting mostly of demos and early singles. Unfortunately, I wasn't the fan in question who organized this little compendium, and as such I don't have source info. However, the first half of these tracks (save for the live version of "Lost Outside the Tunnel") strike me as home-recorded fare, yielding a handful of tunes that I don't believe carried over in any form to proper A/C records or singles. A veritable treasure trove in itself. A bit further in,
Dustbin sweeps up the Postcard Record singles "Just Like Gold" and "Mattress of Wire" before delving into remixes of a considerably more famous single (which you'll have to download to reveal the title if you aren't able to figure it out on your own). From there we're treated to raw, acoustic takes of "The Bugle Sounds Again" and "Down the Dip," that practically upstage the album versions. Things wind down with a pair of
Rock Over London interview segments, and a live reading of the Clash's "Garageland." With the recent Aztec Camera
reissues on Edsel, it's unfortunate that virtually nothing from this boot was appended to the bonus tracks portion of
High Land..., but that leaves more for us I suppose.
