about

Before the all-analog glory of the Hexam Head recordings, the band recorded a nearly-complete version of the entire LP (sans Magpie Prelude and Sundew) in their Philly warren. These recordings bristle with the nascent joys of the songwriting craft--with many parts going down as the digital tape was rolling. There is also much more overt psychedelia and full-on improv--including a long instrumental jam which did not make it to the vhf release. The first 4 tracks are available as single downloads, but the full LP purchase includes 6 bonus tracks.
