ROB SEZ: One of my favorite Teenage Fanclub releases is the all-acoustic Have Lost It EP. I realized recently that I have a treasure trove of TFc tracks, and could assemble the best acoustic (or, in some cases, semi-acoustic) tracks in one place. Although a handful of these appeared on compilations given away with some publication or other, none has seen an official/commercial release.

01 Mellow Doubt (White Session) 

Teenage Fanclub: Alex Chilton was a big fan

02 Starsign (White Session)

03 I'll Make It Clear

    (White Session)

04 Sparky's Dream
    (White Session)

05 Have You Ever Seen
