2.0 out of 5 stars
Decent, but waaaay overpriced, March 28, 2005
This review is from: Live Rarities (Audio CD)
The mixes on the CD are rather flat-sounding, as they're mostly soundboard recordings, and despite the fact that there's some fun Soul Coughing rarities on the disc, it doesn't *feel* fun. This could be forgiven were it not for the combination of a few unfortunate realities:
1) It costs over $20
2) Despite it being two CDs, the total runtime is just over 70 minutes, meaning it could fit handily on one CD.
3) Soul Coughing was very taper/trader friendly, and many SC shows (some including most of the tracks on these discs) are already freely available to the public on legal download sites like archive.org
Adding up the track totals from many of the other Soul Coughing discs from Kufala, this seems to be a pattern. Two CDs for $25 which would fit on one, and are generally legally available for free legally.
In summary: some decent stuff on the disc, but definitely not worth anywhere NEAR the price. Avoid it!
