========================================== The Tragically Hip - Phantom Acoustics 1-3 ========================================== -Updated Feb 2025- PA 1 and 2 were originally compiled in 2000 and 2002. Since then we've obtained better sources for some tracks, as well as enough new material to make a volume 3. Songs from the old PA 1 and 2 have been touched up and shuffled around. I also removed a few tracks I didn't think belonged, as well as adding some new ones to the PA 1 and 2 mix. So even if you've heard the old compilations, the new ones will have something fresh to offer. PA 3 is all new (2020). Special Thanks to the Hipbase.com site for some of the great new material, as well as Le Cheese for his art direction and song contributions. The front covers are all gargoyles from the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, France. The back-cover picture is from The Hip's recording studio, The Bathouse, with a display of the original "mysterious yellow device" (actually an airplane’s flight line tester) used for the Phantom Power cover. [2025 Update] Multi-layer spectral noise\hiss removal was used on the songs that could use it, resulting in a cleaner listening experience. The Boots or Hearts demo was removed from PA 1 because it's now available officially. The "Fuck" in Fireworks on PA 1 has been restored. The acoustic set on PA 2 from KFOG is now from a different, cleaner source. Lots of other tweaks; some are subtle, some are not. Enjoy!
