Del Amitri Waking Hours RARE
UPDATED: New link in comments.Glaswegianpub-rockers Del Amitri don't exactly have legions of fans. But amongthose who do love the band, there are no doubt many who own all six oftheir studio albums (save, perhaps, their self-titled debut, about whichmore later), plus the Best-Of compilation which featured a handful ofnon-album singles, and think they have all the material available by theband. What they don't realize is that there are actually scores of Delstracks that were only released as b-sides of singles or onlimited-edition versions of their albums.

The Dels!) neglect or disavow this material, since it doessound so different from the rest of their output. Still, the debutremains my favorite album of theirs, and one of my favorites of alltime.
I wanted to start off this series with these tracks from theirsecond disc,since they will no doubt have broader appeal. But their are a handfulof early tracks which were not appended to the great reissue of thedebut from a few years ago (which added three bonus tracks), which Iwill offer next as Vol. 1 in the series, before continuingchronologically through the band's career. There will be posts ofuncollected songs from each stage of their career, followed by a seriesof live and/or alternate recordings.
