Roger Sings The Hits: Part 1 1991

First thing, these songs are owned by Flying Nun Records. They are posted here so people can hear them, as they are very rare and currently unavailable. They are for personal listening only.

On the 20th September 1991 Flying Nun Records had organized a gig at Auckland’s Power Station to celebrate their tenth anniversary. Someone came up with the idea to get some of the bands involved in the gig to record songs from other Flying Nun bands, put them on a cassette and sell them at the concert. So the night before the gig, six bands went into Incubator Studios and recorded and mixed six songs. 500 copies of the cassette were sold the next night. As far as I am aware, none of the tracks have ever been issued on CD.

Here’s Jean Paul Sartre Experience covering Fetus Productions’ What's Going On, Straitjacket Fits doing Jean Paul Sartre Experience’s  Flex and The Bats doing Look Blue Go Purple‘s I Don't Want You Anyway.
