Raw Material #14: 1996 05 26 Continental Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

H&C Raw Material – The Desk Tapes.

A year after the release of 1994’s Demon Flower album; Hunters and Collectors experimented with acoustic arrangements of their expansive back catalogue. 12 of these acoustic arrangements made the acoustic album in the Living In Large Rooms and Lounges double album.

But… far more than these 12 songs were performed acoustically. Today’s desk tape, recorded one full year after the Living recordings but still at Melbourne’s Continental Cafe, contains 11 tracks that missed the Living acoustic album (!). This includes favourites like Blind Eye and Where Do You Go? along with a cover of The Pogues track Lorelei (later to reappear in Mark’s solo work).

Our desk tape selections complement the official professional recordings already available – The Way To Go Out (The Venue, Melbourne, 1984), Living in Large Rooms and Lounges (The Continental and others, 1995), Under One Roof (Selinas, Sydney, 1998) and Live 2014 (The Palais, Melbourne). All can be found on streaming audio, including Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music and Apple Music.
