One of the most frequent email, etc. requests I get is for the reactivation of the tracks associated with the
Husker Du rarities post from July 2005. So, with nothing pressing at the moment and the stack of “to-be-blogged” material rapidly dwindling to nil I give you about an hour and 20 minutes of little heard Husker material. A couple of tracks (”Erase Today” and “It’s Not Fair”) were officially released on comps (
Blasting Concept Volume 2 and
Kitten), but most of the material here is from the
Savage Young Du and
Up in the Air boots and live tapes/CD-R’s. Best bet is the great sounding ‘80/’81 live material, but the
Metal Circus and
New Day Rising outtakes are pretty good as well. Broken down chronologically, with a huge debt of gratitude to
