The Triffids& David McComb Back to artist list
Some Pictures I took of the
Triffids in 1987
Some music
paper photos and articles I scanned
Clearly I have a ton of Triffids boots. If you want advice just ask. If you have something I don't then I am interested.
PLEASE NOTE I AM NO LONGER TRADING ANYTHING OUT OF PRINT OR EVEN REMOTELY OFFICIAL AS IT WILL LIKELY BE RE-RELEASED SOON ON DOMINO RECORDS.

18. The Triffids talk to fill up the tape (cuts as per original)
Some traders would have you believe that the "Son of.." was simply a re-issue of the original Dungeon Tape. This is completely wrong. Only five of the original tracks made it on to the "Son of.." .
This is mastered from my own original cassette copy. It has some very slight distortion on two songs, but is much superior to any other bootleg version I have previously heard.

Fairly good audience tape. I
re-mastered this in CoolEdit Pro to restore some clipping, boost the
bass, apply some dynamic
compression and normalise. It still has a little right channel
distortion, hence the B-. Low hiss, but some tape rumble.

'Places in the Sun' Sydney, Australia April 1988
Possibly a recording of the 2 nights at the Cove Tavern on April 2 & 3 in Sydney.
It is live audience source from Australia and Sydney gets mentioned. It must be from more than one show
(unless they really repeated songs) and the quality varies from ok to poor. Songs cut in and out at times.
Probably the main interest here is the cover versions which are all ok quality. Side 2 of the tape
is more distorted by mic overload and is poor for most of it.
