Included here is the Must've Been Live 2 LP Set Test Pressing straight out of the archives.... Now this is important so read on.... It's no secret that the Supersuckers have been selling digital downloads on the site just look here http://supersuckers.shop.musictoday.com Hopefully soon we'll offer the Black Supersuckers Demo's on the store real soon and I expect the demo's of Must've Been High to go up any day now in the digital download section of the site as well. True Story! But I will include both of them with this auction... That's right. The winner of these test pressings will receive the Black Supersuckers Sub Pop Demo's; Recorded for potential release on Sub-Pop Records, these were some of our very first recordings. Featuring the talents of our lead singer at the time, the very charismatic Eric Martin (R.I.P. brother, we sure do miss you!), these tracks have a distinctly different feel than what we became. Especially "Dance On It" and "Dirt" which weren't recorded for Sub-Pop, they were actually recorded in Tucson sometime in late '88 before we left for Seattle and show a band that still had a way to go before finding it's true voice. Still, they're interesting time capsules of 1988. As for the Sub-Pop demos, I can't recall why exactly they never were released at the time. I know we were in a bit of disarray as to whether or not we were going to keep our lead singer and the years have washed away my memory of how that all went down. I do know however that these tracks were recorded by Jack Endino at Reciprocal Recording here in Seattle sometime in late '89. And, man, do they take me back... I hope you enjoy the trip, 20 years back, as much as I do... 1. Dance On It 2. Dirt 3. Black Supersucker Rock (Extended Version) 4. Four Stroke 5. Blow You Away 6. Girl I Know 7. Uncle Jim 8. Junk 9. Mudhead 10. Wake Me When It's Over 11. Girl I Know (Acoustic Version) 12. Monkey 13. Black Supersucker Rock (Reprise) Must've Been High Demo's..... "How are we gonna pull this off?" that was the question going into the making of Must've Been High and here is the answer. These demos were the brainchild of our producer, Randall Jamail, who had the genius idea of bringing me out to Houston to flesh out some arrangements of my songs with Jesse Dayton and Brian Thomas backing me up. Their input was clearly instrumental in getting us through the door of sounding like a real country band and I don't think that Must've Been High would have been nearly as good a record if we hadn't done these demos first. So hat's off to Randall and special thank you's go out to the amazing Mr. Jesse Dayton and his incomparable sidekick, Brian Thomas for helping me get these songs to sound so durn good. Enjoy! 1. Roamin' Round 2, Roadworn And Weary 3. The Captain 4. Barricade 5. Juicy Pureballs 6. One Cigarette Away 7. Blow You Away This is a one of a kind auction. It's the everything must go sale to get some bills paid and we've got a ton... So bid high. Please... Thanks. Questions or concerns email me at chris@supersuckers.com - thanks and thanks some more.
