| Christine's World (Early Version) A very good early version of this song. | Werf, Amsterdam 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 19.01.2007 | download (5161 kb) |
| Ting (Early Version) Not too different from the released version. | Werf, Amsterdam 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 18.01.2007 | download (4097 kb) |
| Mrs. Sandman (Early Version#1) This is the first of two versions of this song played in the documentary. Another version of the song was released as a b-side on the Ting CD-Single. | Werf, Amsterdam 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 17.01.2007 | download (5905 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 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 16.01.2007 | download (3542 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 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 15.01.2007 | download (1102 kb) |
| Fire In My Head (Early Version) In 1992 a documentary about the creation of the TING album awas broadcast in the Netherlands. This was filmed in the Werf studio in late 1991 and featured seveal early versions of songs played live in the studio. Several of these songs feature alternate lyrics or music. I've isolated 10 tracks from this documentary, which will be uploaded here. Sound quality is good, but not excellent. Fire In My Head features some alternative lyrics. | Werf, Amsterdam 1991 | Dennis Versteeg 14.01.2007 | download (4764 kb) |
| Cabins (mini version) A lovely small version of Cabins that was played as a request during a Giant Normal Dwarf concert. Audience recording. | Den Haag 10.11.1990 | Dennis Versteeg 13.01.2007 | download (1567 kb) |
| Yksi Kaksi Kolme gig of the Nits on the Saapasjalka Rock festival, Pihtipudas (Finland) in 1987. Yksi Kaksi Kolme is from the single record J.O.S. Days (1987) On YouTube you can find the video: Yksi Kaksi Kolme | Saapasjalka Rock, Pihtipudas (Finland) 1987 | Jasper de Jong 12.01.2007 | download (1507 kb) |
| River (Live Ting Tour) This is a radio or TV recording of the Ting song River. It was only performed in 1992 and 1993. I have no other information about this recording (only that the other songs were Cars And Cars and Soap Bubble Box). | Radio or TV | Dennis Versteeg 15.12.2006 | download (4717 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 14.12.2006 | download (2082 kb) |
| Bike In Head (Loooong Version) With it's 9 minutes, this is probably the longest ever version of Bike In Head. The sound quality is rather poor, but it's such a special version it's worth putting it here. The song features a long instrumental section that was triggered by a triangle (!) solo by Rob. | Zutphen 25.04.1994 | Dennis Versteeg 13.12.2006 | download (11033 kb) |
| The Arrow (soundcheck) This is an unreleased song by the Nits that was sometimes played during soundchecks in the early '90s. | Gouda 06.03.1993 | Dennis Versteeg 12.12.2006 | download (7039 kb) |
| So Long Ago, Nancy & Apple Orchard (soundcheck) This is an odd medley of bits of Leonard Cohen's So Long Ago, Nancy that turns into Apple Orchard. It's quite long and the sound is not optimal, but it shows how the band sometimes likes to experiment in soundchecks. | Gouda 06.02.1993 | Dennis Versteeg 11.12.2006 | download (10793 kb) |
| The Vermillion Pencil (early studio take) This is an early studio runthrough of The Vermillion Pencil. The source is a video recording. | Wisseloord sTudio, Hilversum | Dennis Versteeg 10.12.2006 | download (3775 kb) |
| Sketches Of Spain (Ting Tour Version) This is the Ting Tour arrangement of Sketches Of Spain. It is notable for the haunting violin played by Peter Meuris in the middle section. | Amsterdam 06.07.1993 | Dennis Versteeg 09.12.2006 | download (6824 kb) |
| Scarborough Fair Usually in the HAT Tour the intro to Nescio consisted of Henk singing a part of the English verse over a piano backing, as can be heard on URK. In this case he sang a bit of Simon & Garfunkel's song Scarborough Fair. | Alkmaar 08.12.1988 | Dennis Versteeg 08.12.2006 | download (1196 kb) |
| Nathalie In The Dutch Mountains This is a short, odd improvised medley of the song Nathalie and In The Dutch Mountains. Sound quality is pretty lousy, but it's unique enough to place it here. | Antwerpen 23.05.1993 | Dennis Versteeg 07.12.2006 | download (2196 kb) |
| Mountain Jan in Moscow This was recorded on the 21st, 22nd or 23rd of March 1989 during the Nits' legendary concerts in Moscow. Some portions of this concert were released on URK, but this track, taken forom the official recordings, was broadcast on Dutch radio shortly after those concerts. It includes Henk's introduction and the translation into Russsian. | Moscow 03.1989 | Dennis Versteeg 06.12.2006 | download (6056 kb) |
