Soap Bubble Box (Trio Version)
This is a nice version of Soap Bubble Box recorded for Dutch radio just before the Ting Tour. It is unique, because it only features Stips on piano, Rob on snare drum and Henk on vocals and mini-marimba. Martin and Peter are not present.Hilversum - Dutch Radio

(3878 kb)Sorrow
One of the most beautiful Nits songs ever. Unfortunately it was only
played during the dAdAdA tour. It's about time the band digs this one up
again..Karlsruhe

(4826 kb)Steentjes (Soundtrack)
This is music that was used with a short film by Henk made for Dutch TV. The short film showed various Nits and crew members playing around with little bricks ('Steentjes' in Dutch). It's a fun little movie and the music suits the images. It's not that fascinating to listen to by itself, but nice enough to place it here. Werf? Dennis Versteeg

(2082 kb)Stips – Medley
This was recorded during Robert Jan Stips' first solo tour following the
Egotrip album. He played songs from all over his career and this medley
combines three: Instead Of.. (from dAdAdA), Tomorrow Is Another Day (from
U.P.) and Cars And Cars (from Ting). His band consisted of Martin Bakker
on bass and Roy Bakker on drums. Audience Recording.Den Haag

(7603 kb)Stips – Walter And Conny
Recorded during Robert Jan's 1999 Greyhound Tour. He played a few older
songs, including this hectic version of this Nits classic. His band
consisted of Mark Boon on electric guitar, Judith Sijp on cello and Robert
Jan himself on keyboards and drum machines. A unique combination of
instruments! Audience recording.Den Bosch

(4731 kb)Stones #1
The songs regularly contain interview parts over the music.
This track is a short improvisation on the 'stones' percussion instruments that were used on the TING album. All Nits members are playing, as well as Swiss percussionist Fritz Hauser and sculptor Arthur Schneiter.Werf, Amsterdam

(1102 kb)Stones #2
This is a second demonstration of the 'Stones' percussion instruments. Tis time the stone is rubbed, producing a humming noise. It is unclear who is playing, but it\'s probably Fritz Hauser or Arthur Schneider. It's hard to tell from the documentary if any Nits member is playing here..Werf, Amsterdam

A very early version of this song, recorded sometime during the summer of 1987.

(4491 kb)Strangers Of The Night
An interesting version of this song from the Margraten concert August 9th 1987. Possibly the very first time this song was recorded live. The concert is one of two which were given in the period during which In The Dutch Mountains was performed. The song is not quite finished. The main structure is there, but several parts, including the spoken sections are still missing.
From the tape collection of Dia Bravenboer.Margraten

(3288 kb)Sugar River
From the radio broadcast of the June 14 2004 concert in the Fabrik in
Hamburg. The 1974 featured a very welcome return of many Giant Normal
Dwarf tracks. Sugar River was added about halfway through the tour as an
encore. Even though it's not the best known track, it always managed to
get audiences on their feet!

(2068 kb)Tent
Before the band went to the studio for the Tent album, they recorded demo
versions in their rehearsal place. Many songs have different arragements
than the later released versions and in my opinion are better that how
they turned up on the album.Demo 1979 Dennis

(2501 kb)Tequila
It's hard to determine if this is a live or a studio recording. It sounds like an improvised cover version of this famous song. The song is mostly instrumental synth parts over a busy, latin percussion rhythm. Henk shouts 'Tequila' every now and then. Short and funny.Studio or Live?

(7039 kb)The Bauhaus Chair
Although released (and rewritten) in 1988, this song was already very old.
It went back to the earliest Nits days in 1974-1975. It was decently
recorded in 1980 together with a few other very sweet sounding songs for
the New Flat album. Along with those other songs it wasn't used. The album
would have sounded very different if they had!Demo 1980 Dennis
