Teenage Fanclub - Ultimate TFc Acoustic Album

The Ultimate TFc Acoustic Album

various acoustic tracks, live sessions, alt. versions
  
preFM, soundboards & FM captures
   

sound quality range: VG to Ex- (only anomalies are a very few brief, static-induced pops on 2 tracks)   

Teenage Fanclub, onstage in 2010 (this & below, CBatka/NYTimes)

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 
     the Rain? (White Session)

06 Verisimilitude (Radio 1)

07 Going Places (Radio 1)

08 I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better

    (Radio 1)

09 Cul De Sac (SBN Session)

10 The Sun Shines from You

    (SBN Session)

11 The World'll Be OK

    (alt. version, Scotland On Sunday)

12 I Need Direction (alt. version, Scotland On Sunday)

13 Green Grow the Rushes O' (Dutch Radio)

TFc still release records and tour, on occasion

14 The Shadows (Radio 1)

15 Norman 3 (VPRO Session)

16 Your Love Is the Place 

     Where I Come From (Vox)

17 Baby Lee (Radio 2)

The Posies: never left the garage (but it's a really nice garage...)

SUPER THANKS to Magnix for recording, digitizing & sharing

ROB SEZ: How cool is it that this live set by two Big Star fanboy bands starts & ends with the classic “September Gurls”? How cool is it that they toured together in 1993? Posies leaders Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow have appeared here already as members of the latter-day Big Star lineup, but this is the first post to feature their own band (more to come later…)
