Lemonheads / Evan Dando Rarity-a-thon

What with the recent news that the classic Lemonheads' platter It's A Shame About Ray will soon be reissued as one of those exciting deluxe packages, complete with bonus disc and DVD, I thought i'd get you all excited by jumping the gun and giving you a preview of some of the stuff that might be on it and some stuff that definitely won't be. I dug out some Lemonheads and Evan Dando singles and below are links to some of the otherwise unreleased stuff I found.

First up are four songs released on Lemonheads singles. Divan was on the Mrs Robinson/Being Around single back in 1992, and is one of many Smudge songs that Dando has covered over the years. The other three Lemons' songs are all taken from the If I Could Talk I'd Tell You cd single. Seagulls Aren't Free is a Dando original, while How Will I Know was of course recorded by Whitney and I Don't Want To Go Home was written by Tex-Mex hero Doug Sahm.

The second four songs come from the singles taken from Dando's only solo album to date, the most-excellent Baby I'm Bored. All are Dando originals (although co-written as many of his songs are nowadays, not that that's a bad thing), but in live or re-recorded versions. The alt. version of Shots Is Fired is notable for containing a vocal performance from Liv Tyler. It's...interesting.
