Pip Proud - Demos & Outtakes (1967-1997)

To commemorate Pip Proud's 75th birthday: a collection of outtakes, demos, and obscurities from 1967 to 1997. Many of these songs were not on YouTube (or online at all), so the primary drive behind creating this compilation was to share these songs with a wider audience. All tracks (except "Albatross" to "One of These Days") have been edited carefully to preserve original audio, reduce distortion, and suppress noise.
