The Eindhoven EP is an unreleased demo tape by Ween, compiled in at some point in 1991. The cassette consists of the titular Eindhoven EP, four songs recorded on Christmas 1990 in the Netherlands, as well as assorted radio performances from their time in Europe.
Details[edit | edit source]
The Eindhoven EP is a tape split into 3 segments - the first 4 tracks are all studio recordings done on 24-track tape at Tango Studio, located in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on December 25th, 1990. The recording of Cover It With Gas featured on this tape was later released in 1993 on the Skycruiser EP.
Tracks 5 through 7 are taken from a live performance at a Belgian radio station in early 1991.
Tracks 8 through 15 are taken from a live radio performance on VPRO 2000 Jr. Rock & Roll, dated 4/18/1990 - this portion has circulated since at least 2013,[2] however the full show (including tracks not present on the cassette like Seconds and L.M.L.Y.P.) appeared online in 2020.[3]
