Name of Bootleg: "Parephernallia" (No joke- this is how it was spelled. Perhaps these bootleggers ought to go to college).Distributor/ Record Label: Totonka Music/ Executive Producer- Carl Punjoninan. (Note: this particular label is one of THE main labels for Jane's boots- they're based out of LA, but there are no phone numbers or adresses on any of their boots that I own. If you have any info on this, please e-mail it to me post haste!)
Description: Rather than have all this material from one concert, there are 4 different concert venues listed, as well as studio outtakes from the El Dorado Studios. The earliest date is in February '87, and the latest is in November of '88. Most of the live material seems to be played in small theaters/ halls.
Set List:
CHICAGO SET @ CABARET METRO (LIVE) 11/25/88:
- KETTLE WHISTLE: Cover of some song unbeknownst to me- well done!
- OBVIOUSLY: Yes, the same one from Ritual! Full of energy- musically very good.
- BOB-HAUS: Combo of Dylan's "like a rolling stone" & a Bauhaus song- v.g!
- CHIP AWAY- pretty true to first album version- interesting improv by perry in the middle part, though.
MILWAUKEE SET * LOCATION UNKNOWN (LIVE) 11-29-88
- OCEAN SIZE: Wow! Pretty much the same as all other live vers. of this song, with a great electric guitar intro by Dave. If only that intro were on Nothing's Shocking!
LOS ANGELES @ EL DORADO STUDIOS (OUTTAKES) 2-25-88
- HAD A DAD: Completely differnt version than either the NS version or the demo. Perry cracks up halfway through, which is probably why they didn't stick it on the album.
- IDIOTS RULE: Virtually identical to the album version, with NO marguerita horns! Instead, a mediocre guitar solo by Dave take the horns' place.
- SUMMERTIME ROLLS: Again, virtually identical to the album version, except there's no lead guitar AND Perry sings in a low monotone, rather than the melodious high-pitched album version. Good, but different.
- MT. SONG: Vocals and guitar are different- more reverb on the vocals different vocal take. Guitar is differnent as well.
LOS ANGELES @ U.S.C. CAMPUS (LIVE) 2/87
- SLOW DIVER: On the jewel box after the title, it says "Unreleased". Could this be a Jane's song or a cover? In any case, Stephen plays the bongos, and Dave (I'm Assuming) plays keyboards. Eric is nowhere to be heard on this song. Poor sound quality on this song, but worth listening to.
LOS ANGELES (LIVE) 1988 * LOCATION UNKNOWN
OVERALL SOUND QUALITY: For the most part, very good. In some songs, it is lacking, and I've noted it if it is.
- MACIO: Another "unreleased" Jane's song? (At least that's what the notes suggest). The sound quality is poor, but the song is interesting, apparently about a little dog. It's kind of cheery, a mood I've never heard Jane's portray.
