Been listening to this for about 24 hrs -- really fun, the music is great, and the package is gorgeous...

it's a little weird that it's all unreleased stuff.

No no - it's the three released albums PLUS loads of unreleased stuff

plus, they already put out a CD of "from the vaults" type stuff, that Volume One CD on their Specimen label. I wonder if that CD is recapitulated on the box? I think originally they were going to do a series of them (hence the Volume One title)?

I think all of this stuff is unreleased, actually. Some of it was intended for release here and there, particularly stuff intended for the final record. Unless I am misunderstanding the liner notes... I'll have to do some homework and see.

From Other Music:

Shrimp Boat "Something Grand" CD Box (AUM Fidelity)
A career-spanning 4-disc box from Shrimp Boat comprised almost entirely of unreleased material!

three years pass...

vibing on them right now. not sure if i want to delve into the 4cd box set quite yet, but maybe someone can convince me. anyone wanna talk shrimp boat?

or you could tell me about any bands doing similar things in the 80s and early 90s? maybe there is a connection between my shrimp boat appreciation and my the scene is now love?

two years pass...

just finally finished up this thing. I dunno how essential it is, this is exactly the kind of band that sounds excellent for two or three albums (in their case Duende and Cavale are both great) but their sound doesn't expand much past that. Still the sheer length of the thing for a band that was only around a few years is astounding.
