A collection of veteran Seattle psych outfit`s rare & unreleased tracks
1997-2006,but throwaways these are not. Listen to what we have below for
proof positive. A compilation along the lines of past Green Pajamas
releases like `Indian Winter` and `Narcotic Kisses; 20 tracks that, for one
reason or another, never made it onto albums or EPs released over the last
decade. Most of these songs likely didn`t fit the concept or `sound` of
whatever album was being created at the time, and during sequencing, were
left off. The result is, ironically, a Pajamas album in what some might
regard as the "classic" sense: a rather psychedelic collection of short,
sweet pop songs. No theme or agenda. Mainman Jeff Kelly came across most
of these songs again while making digital back-up copies from DAT master
tapes. He was struck by how good all these songs sounded collected together.
Coincidentally, Eric Lichter offered up two new songs that he`d recorded
with Ken Stringfellow (Posies, Big Star, REM) which fit perfectly with this
collection. There`s a song Kelly wrote in in 1973 called Looking For
Heaven and out-takes from both `Strung Behind the Sun` and `All Clues Lead
to Meagan`s Bed.` There are some songs previously only available on magazine
compilation CDs and a brand new song, When Natalie Sings. There are two
songs originally meant for an unfinished concept album (Forever 13 and
The Haunted Dollhouse) based on a strange picture book, `The Haunted
Dollhouse" published in the early 1980`s. There are also out-takes from
`Northern Gothic,` including the original longer version of `The Bitter
Moon,` and some favorite recordings that just never came out, and more.
