Mercury Rev - 3 songs

These three songs were recorded when David Baker was still in the band and, in my opinion, when the band still sounded good. I think they've gone mainstream since his departure and I have no interest in them now. Their first two proper albums, "Yerself is Steam" and "Boces" are great, quirky indie rock, similar to their friends - Flaming Lips. The sound quality of this recording is pretty much perfect and the songs come from those two albums.

Tracklisting:

Something For Joey
Chasing A Bee
Boys Peel Out

Mercury Rev live 93

This is fab - early stuff is tough to find. Do you have more? If so, please post.

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. Just these three were on the radio that time. I agree though, their early stuff is brilliant.
