Its been a while since the latest Posies release and of course it would be great to hear a new effort. Until then, here is a compilation of b-sides and tribute tracks . Its the first of a couple compilations that I'll post. I think this collection works pretty well in the order here. Be warned - it is heavy on cover songs. Auer and Stringfellow bring a lot in interpreting the work of others.
Many of these tracks were included in the long out of print Not Lame box set "At Least At Last" though I don't think all of them were included in that package.
Enjoy Every Bitter Drop

Bring on the next comp! (Which I'm sure will have their cover of "Ooh Child" on it, right?) ;-)
Wow, thanks so much. I'm a huge Posies fan, never heard a lot of these tracks.
This is my first time to your site - really enjoy it - thank you for this wonderful memorial day gift of the posies, my one of my favorite bands - I saw them in chapel hill during their amazing disgrace tour and they blew me away - reminded me of the who in their prime. there were a couple tracks you posted that I had never heard before (smash it up and song for a baker. powerful pop! thank YOU. johnbuck.
These guys are so great! I was fortunate to live in Seattle as they were coming up and actually saw them open for Jellyfish. Later, in 2005, I had them play my music club, the Bouquet in Boise, ID and it was one of the highlights of my life. Jon's solo album is excellent as well. Great site!
Please, post on mediafire! ;S
Thanx.
I have to tell you, finding your blog has been a wet dream for these two compilations alone.
I absolutely love The Posies. Frosting On The Beater was a pivotal experience for me, and they remain, to this day, my second favorite band of all time.
Thank you so very much for these b-sides, rarities and covers. Most of which, I had never heard. "Keep Me Guessing" is an amazing tune.
Thanks so much for this. Ive been jonesing for Blood/Candy
Thanks a bunch for "Every Bitter Drop". I'm a huge Posies fan and this made my day!
The 2nd compilation you mention - I can't seem to find it after reading through your page. Could you point me in the right direction please?
Thank you again!
Andrew.

It's really part 2.
Thanks Haper, I found it!
Cheers.
Fabulous. Thank you so much.
A quick (and hopefully easy) request -- with the second part of this set, you posted along with the songlist a brief parenthetical comment on where the track came from (e.g. demo, "KEXP session", etc.). Do you have any such information for these tracks?
Again, thanks muchly!
Thanks a lot for your Excellent The Posies postings..and for having a wonderful blog.

Cheers Danny.
