Slapp Happy - Moon Lovers Nights (2000)


This is a bootleg of a Slapp Happy concert in Japan from 2000. I got this from a KDX server years ago and forgot I had it until recently. The version I have is only the first disc of two, I'm not sure why. But the second disc features most of the same songs, from an earlier concert.
These are stripped down versions of the songs, with just voice, guitar, keyboard—Dagmar, Peter, and Anthony. Listening to them again recently, I felt it almost as a relief to hear them in this form, without drums, without production. These songs are so good that they don't need any adornment, and you deserve to have these alternate versions.
