Husker Du Rarities

The wife and I received our "deluxe" box set of Bob Mould's Body of Song this weekend. I won't go into a detailed review but suffice it to that both discs have been on "repeat" ever since. As most everyone is saying, this album is a nice return to form. I would file it somewhere between Last Dog & Pony Show and Copper Blue in the post Husker Mould discography, take that for what it's worth. I won't be posting tracks from the new LP (given this debate) but I thougth this would be a grand opportunity to post some old Husker Du rarities. The tracks below were gleaned from the Savage Young Du and Up in the Air boots, in addition to live tapes. Enjoy!
