Limited edition vinyl.13 rare and unreleased cuts from 1979-1983 hand picked by Greg Sage.
Re-mastered from the original master tapes.
Featuring 13 rare and unreleased cuts, Out Takes collects unheard songs, demo recordings, and alternate mixes. Handpicked by
Greg Sage, the songs date from 1979-1983, the same years as their landmark first three LPs.
Side one focuses on the era of their debut LP, Is This Real?, a desperate, energetic masterpiece, considered by
Kurt Cobain as the blueprint for grunge. Included are raw, sparsely arranged 4-track demos, two unreleased songs from 1979, and the forceful, youthful track Rebel With A Cause which was cut from the LP.
The second half of the LP presents a live recording of Mistaken Identity, originally intended for the Wipers' third LP, Over the Edge, a rare B-side, and alternate mixes of songs from Youth of America.
