Collecting the records of a band with a lot of non-LP material can be a pleasure. In the case of the
Duke Spirit, we have an hour's worth of songs from singles, EP's, and elsewhere. Two of my most favorite Duke Spirit songs appeared only on EPs: "A Wild Hope" (from 2007's Ex Voto EP), and "Victory" (from the 2010 Kusama EP). "Echo Song" is a duet featuring Gerry Love from Teenage Fanclub. The last three tracks are at lower bitrates because they are web rips. If anyone reading this is in the UK and can share better quality digital copies, I would be very grateful, as these songs are not available through US digital retailers. There's also one b-side I don't have at all (Villain Laid Bare).

I mentioned in my first post that the Duke Spirit's original name was Solomon. One of their first demo tracks, "Glorious", was remade by the band a decade later as their last single. Solomon released one single in 2002 (Piano 1 b/w Being The Devil). The first five tracks shared below are ripped from video. You can clearly hear a Velvet Underground influence in Solomon's music, especially the guitar solos. The Duke Spirit demos and acoustic songs that follow are mostly from CD bonus tracks. The acoustic tunes are from radio sessions to promote the first two albums. Enjoy!
