  1. Fancy the rest of that Sarah Artists’ live bootleg, EEC Punk Rock Mountain?

    All right, then. Here ya go (with very special thanks to pyrolysebred).

    Just add the Orchids live tracks from the main post as tracks 7 & 8 (apologies for the weird track numbering; the album is, in fact, complete after you add The Orchids’ two tracks):

    10 If I Touch (Gentle Despite)
    11 Major John (The Wake)
    12 Carbrain (The Wake)
    13 Coach Station Reunion (The Field Mice)
    14 Landmark (The Field Mice)
    15 Boyfriend Stays the Same (Heavenly)
    16 Wrap My Arms Around Him (Heavenly)
