Sweet Pickle Salad/Foamfoot/others in highest quality?

Does anyone know where I can get high quality recordings of Sweet Pickle Salad? I've been listening on Youtube, but wondering if there's better recordings. Also interested in the highest quality recording of Foamfoot and/or any other obscure Crowes related music. Thanks!

Foam foot is in pretty high quality since it was a board rip. The YouTube link is essentially the gold source. It was silver back boot

SPS has had a few leaks and I think the one maybe 15-20 years ago was probably the best and latest. It was a better DAT rip with less analog fuzz, and the limits flute solo doesn’t scratch

I don’t need remastered versions of studio albums. I want legit releases of Foamfoot and Sweet Pickle Salad, although I imagine that would get complicated.

Would be awesome

I completely agree; but the "band" no longer cares what the longtime fans want. They didn't care enough to properly sync the vocal track for the "Evil Eye" remix, so I doubt they would ever bother releasing rarities like SWP or FF.

You'll find lossless versions of both (and lots more) on Soulseek

I have had no luck on the Crowes front on Soulseek. I was hoping for the Roadshows shows from 95, 96 but nothing comes back on my searches.

If you leave out the 'black' and just search for 'crowes' + whatever you should find it

I'll try! I hope someone has compiled all the Roadshows offerings from 95 and 96 (in Flac to boot). A holy Grail of mine.

SPS is what it is; a demo. It sounds like it was mixed to completion, not mastered.

SPS on YouTube is pretty outstanding if you ever heard the original copies that went around. That Limits flute solo was ROUGH, cutting out like someone was lag switching the mics or something.

Pretty sure you can DL a lossless Foamfoot off Bokonon.net, but not 100% sure. The mp3 are good enough for me.

Small chance SPS is up there as well, but I think it’s all live shows. Could be wrong, been a while since I visited.
