The Best of the Live Versions
1990-2014
soundboard & FM recordings (quality: VG+ to Ex)
SAMPLE: "Who Are You?" (live, posted 2015) - watch Karl & Co kick ass even after his aneurysm
ROB SEZ: There I was, poking around in my archives. I was on the hunt for World Party studio rarities to share with you, and I kept finding fabulous live versions of WP songs. "OK," I eventually told myself, "these will become another comp." I used my usual criteria to keep or discard tracks: "Does this get me going?
"Does it raise my temperature or at least pique my interest? Is it a well-performed, but rarely-played, song?" If the answer to at least 2 of these was Yes, it was a keeper. (A few of these were released as B-sides, but they're now out of print and unavailable via official channels. About half of these come from lossy sources like webstreams.) Karl posted several of the tracks online and made others available to fans as authorized bootlegs back in the 1990s via his own website. After I settled on these 13 tracks, then came the fun part: sequencing. I ordered them strictly by intuition and how they flowed when I listened back. This is probably version 14 or so.
HAPPY LISTENING
