Rarities VI continues the tradition of offering some unheard tunes, mostly instrumental, and alternate versions and demos of CD tracks. Most of the versions here are the basic tracks without a lot of added production, but are not acoustic or minimal. The time signatures are largely the same, the tunes are recognizable, they are just different versions. I enjoyed hearing these versions.
Admittedly, I am a hardcore Big Country fan, one of the very few unfortunately, so this has colored my enjoyment of this disc. The studio versions to these songs are still my favorites, but this CD is worth it for us hardcore BC fans.
Big Country is a highly underrated, amazing group from the past. Sadly, minus the heart of the group now and in the later years, but none the less potent.....
Such talent..
