Rarum 80-95

Po wielu prośbach od fanów, Rune Grammofon podjeło się wydania tej płyty. 14 utworów poddano remasteringowi, sięgając do debiutanckiej epki z 1980 roku aż po ostatnie nagrania z roku 1995.

Over the years both Fra Lippo Lippi and Rune Grammofon have had numerous requests for a compilation like this. A number of recordings have only been available on various vinyl formats in small editions and never on CD or in digital form. So here are the 14 missing pieces, dating all the way back to the debut EP in 1980, and up to the final recording from 1995. Although the tracks have been subject to a new mastering, please note that no further effort has been made to turn it into a coherent artistic whole. It is what it is, through 16 years and four line-ups, from experimental bedroom recordings to full-blown studio workouts.
