oh happy fucking monday! not sure where i got my hands on this little nugget, but its a promo that warner brothers and reprise released back in 92 or 93, i believe. it collects what were a bunch of tracks that werent commercially available at the time, but i am sure now are. so posting this one is like playing the ponies, its a crap shoot. anyway, this is what the folks that put it together had to say, at the time, about this “collectors” promo.
“When you see it a few years from now, propped up behind the register of your favorite used record store, selling for some obscenely high price, you’ll wish you’d kept it…and probably not just because of its resale value,” and, hyperbole aside, it’s well-worth owning even beyond its Holy Grail status. Several of the tracks — American Music Club’s haunting “Love Connection N.Y.C.,” the Poster Children’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Isis,” the Muffs’ incendiary “Lucky Guy,” and John Wesley Harding’s autumnal “Your New Clothes” among them — rank alongside their creators’ very strongest work. There’s also an extended version of David Lynch’s hallucinatory Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me instrumental “The Pink Room,” a live reading of R.E.M.’s gorgeous “Half a World Away” culled from the syndicated radio series Rockline, and a Jane’s Addiction/Body Count tag-team duet on the Sly and the Family Stone classic “Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey.
