Wipers / Out Takes

Jackpot

Featuring thirteen rare and unreleased cuts, Out Takes collects unheard songs, demo recordings, and alternate mixes. Handpicked by GREG SAGE, the songs date from 1979-1983, the same years as their landmark first three LPs. Side one focuses on the era of their debut LP, Is This Real?, a desperate, energetic masterpiece, considered by Kurt Cobain as the blueprint for grunge. Included are raw, sparsely arranged 4-track demos, two unreleased songs from 1979, and the forceful, youthful track “Rebel With A Cause,” which was cut from the LP. The second half of the LP presents a live recording of “Mistaken Identity,” originally intended for THE WIPERS third LP, Over the Edge, a rare B-side, and alternate mixes of songs from Youth of America. Out Takes is an incredible new window into the career of one of the greatest American punk bands. (STREET DATE - 6/22/2010)
