With Capitol Record's push behind the release of Hot Sauce Committee Part Two seemingly over, many
collectors may be disappointed with entering into another prolonged wait for new material. Fortunately,
this "off season" is off to a promising start with two color bootleg vinyl series coming!
The first series is a set of 8 x 7 color vinyl singles, each containing rare and previously unreleased
versions of tracks from the 1989 release Paul's Boutique. Each individual single will be released
in a limited run of 500 copies. For the completists, all 8 singles will be released together in a 8 x 7
limited edition box set with exclusive artwork. After researching the track listing, it appears that of
the 21 tracks only 1 has ever been released commercially on vinyl. Several online sites are already
featuring the individual singles for preorder, and we are told that the box set will be available for
preorder by the end of the month. The second series of vinyl releases are a set of 8 x 12 color vinyl
singles focusing on rare and unreleased material from Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. The first
installment of this series, "B-Boys in the Cut Remixes," is currently available (Google search
BEASTCUT004). Subsequent releases for the HSCP2 series are rumored to include 12" color vinyl versions for
"Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win," "Here's a Little Something for Ya," "Lee Majors Come Again," "Make
Some Noise," "Too Many Rappers," and a "Best Of" compilation.
