An great version of this song. For this radioshow the Nits performed in a
stripped down setting, years before the Unplugged-phenomenon. Several
songs were redone and this one changed the most drastically.Countdown Café

The Alankomaat Tour featured a very different version of Cars & Cars. While it's not an improvement, it's certainly interesting enough to hear.Delft

(6450 kb)In The Dutch Mountains
This is the 'bull-bull'-version of the Alankomaat Tour. Henk played the
bull-bull, an Indian instrument that most resembles a typewriter with
strings. Together with Rob's tabla's the Indian atmosphere was complete.
Early in the tour Henk continued to play the bull-bull throughout the
whole song, but later on in the tour he switched to acoustic guitar for
the second half. This is a performance which features the latter version.
Audience recording.

The Alankomaat Tour featured some very innovative and unique arrangements
of old favorites. This a a great example of that. Audience recording (yes
really!).Delft

This song was played at almost all concerts from the late '70s until 1981. It was never released on a record though...Demo Dennis

(1937 kb)Walter And Conny
An amazing demo version of Walter and Conny: it features lyrics! Apparently they decided to remove the lyrics for the release. Another special thing is that lead vocals are alternated by Henk, Robert Jan and Michiel, each sings one or more verses. This is something which doesn't happen on any other Nits song. Demo Dennis

A never released song from before the first album. It sounds a lot
like The Who to me. It's one of the earliest Nits songs that feature a
synthesizer.

This is an unreleased Nits song that was recorded as a demo in the period
before the debut album. To me it sounds almost like a song by The Who.Demo 1977 Dennis

(4866 kb)Yes Or No
A demo for the debut album. Some different things are going on in this
version. It sounds a bit warmer than the released version. There are lots
more songs from these sessions available, including many unreleased songs.
Maybe they will be uploaded at a later time.Demo 1977 Dennis

(3779 kb)Went To The Sea
An early version of Harrow Accident, very different arrangement and
several different lyrics. This was a demo for the debut album, but the
song wasn't used. Eventually it was released as the b-side to Tutti
Ragazzi and many years later as a bonustrack on the Tent CD.

(4040 kb)Tutti Ragazzi
A demo for the debut album. This version is much more basic and
piano-based. The lyrics and arrangement have differences. It is (of
course) closer to the debut album version than the later rerecorded Tent
version.

(3360 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

(2671 kb)Nothing To Do
This is from the same sessions as the Bauhaus Chair demo. It's a beautiful
little tune, but would be totally out of place on the New Flat album.Demo 1980 Dennis

(1854 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
