Recorded live at The Barwon Club in 1990 as what should have been the 'Take It Out On You' record launch (...the records weren't pressed in time), this is an unbelievable recording that all Bored! fans should download right NOW!!! Not quite sure if it's a mixing desk tape or just a really good crowd tape, either way, it is the best live recording I have heard from this line up. I have put the download up as the highest quality MP3 (320kbps) so that you all get the best out of it.
Enjoy!

Howdy folks. Just letting you know of some changes to the site. I'm taking the site back to how it started and focusing on Demos and Live recording again. Been a bit caught up in the CD sales side of things and want to get it back on track. I have been contacted by a fair few bands recently and should have a heap of new stuff on the way. I'm taking the archive down as it takes too much time to set up each listing, so if you want to see what is available you better keep coming back. I'll be relisting all of the archived recordings so that they are still available so never fear!!! I will also be concentrating more on the mail order section rather than having a ton of CDs lying around, so if you see anything you like let me know and I'll get a price. Or, if there is anything you are after let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Feel free to leave feedback too. It doesn't hurt to know that someone is looking at all of this stuff.
Time to grab a bargain folks. Most stock is going to be made available at auction from the low price of 99 cents!!! Keep your eye out, alot of new listings at this price as well.
Alot of people have been requesting stuff from me and I've had great success finding most things. While I'm searching I come across alot of things that I think will be of interest to people that follow this site. So, I've set up a mail order section where I will list these records.
I'll add to this on a regular basis so keep an eye out.
