Liner Notes

The unthinkable. A full recording from the darkest, most alternative era of Hunters and Collectors.

This week we discover an early gig from Sydney – the first in our series from outside of Melbourne. Tracks from the then forthcoming The Fireman’s Curse mix with songs from the first album and early EP’s: you do need to hear Towtruck in live form. Three tracks that never saw any release also appear – The Walsh Way, the wild track Sex and a cover of Sixteen Tons (!).

Nothing remotely like this recording exists in the officially released Hunters and Collectors repertoire. It is almost the exact opposite of last week’s acoustic set. This is not for everyone: yet we know that for some of you, this may feel like an early present…! Were any of you there!?
