Butthole Surfers - Double Live bootleg

This bootleg was made by the band themselves, and they've given it away free on their site. The version here has the track names fixed and the ID3 tags sorted, so it's slightly improved for us geeky types. Anyway, here is the description that the band have for it.

In the mid 80's there were a bunch of bad sounding live bootlegs for sale. By '88 the band felt they could bootleg the band as well as everybody else, so they joined the crowd and released their own crappy bootleg too.

Taking a portable DAT recorder on the road, they taped shows in the winter of '88. When they got back to Texas, they sorted through the DATs and compiled the best of it to a 2 disc, 29 song set on their newly formed Latino Buggerveil label.

Slightly better sounding than most bootlegs of the time, only a limited pressing was made and it went out of print farily quickly.

Since it's doubtful this will ever be reissued again, here all the songs in the MP3 format, for those who want it but are reluctant to cough up the 100 bucks or so for an original copy on Ebay.
