Ripe pre-Summershine

Following a recent post offering the b-side of Ripe's ridiculously rare Summershine debut for your delectation, an Australian correspondent very kindly sent me a demo version of that song, The End, as well as Ripe's hauting cover of Big Star's O, Dana.

Thanks to Jim for passing on these MP3s; you could do far worse things than check out his band, Tugboat, whose beautifully composed reflections are suspended in the shadows left by Galaxie 500.
