These were recordings from 1979-1980 that were intended for Lady Lake's second album after "No Pictures". I've long been a fan of Lady Lake's debut, finding it to be a perfect mix of instrumental melody, sound and texture. "Unearthed" has some similarities, but is definitely a product of a later time - the songs are much more straightforward, with tinny synthesizers, typical of the New Wave era. And the recording isn't ready for prime time, so it's definitely a little rough (something they are very aware of according to the liner notes). Normally I avoid these kind of "table scraps" and I probably should have been here as well. However, I think many fans of the band will highly enjoy this set - especially if you're drawn to less than perfect sounding live recordings. All the material is original, and the band does possess a great sense of melodic penmanship. Conditionally recommended.
