While I am very familiar with most of their live stuff on bootleg, I've somehow managed to avoid most of the studio session/outtake material on bootleg. A part of me wanted to wait for the official versions of the material to come out via the anniversary editions of these albums but they prefer to re-record over the outtakes and prevent the original unedited versions to be released.

I've seen many sessions being posted here and I'm ready to take the plunge in this world. I feel there is much to learn about my favorite band on their writing/recording process.

Have no idea where to start as there seems to be so many different titles and versions of sessions for different albums. Would love to start within the time frame that interests me most.

Any suggestions for boots between Goats Head Soup and Tattoo You is most welcome! Are there any classic collections from these sessions that are must-haves? Any help is most appreciated!

It depends:
which album or which period do you like the most?
a good start would be Trident Mixes
[www.filefactory.com]
or
It's Only Goats Head Soup... But We Like It
[www.filefactory.com]
and every alternate album or complete sessions you can find here

Albums from Goats Head Soup to Tattoo You, preferably.

You can't go wrong with the CDs from VGP [iorr.org] and DAC [iorr.org]

You can always sample what you really like on YT, lots of outtakes/sessions posted there. It helps to narrow down the often many choices.

I grabbed a couple of VGP and DAC's stuff. Some good stuff from Emotional Rescue. Not too intereseted in acetates and alternate mixes, really like the alternate takes/jams. Fun to hear the different things Keith is trying on the various takes of Dance Pt. 1 for example.

my 1st outtake albums (in 1986): 'trident mixes', 'can you hear the guitar (makes me wanna move)' and 'paris shuffle'. a friend gave me 'lonely at the top'

in case you want to do forensic work on voodoo lounge, get 'voodoo brew' and 'voodoo stew'

impressing (in my ears): undercover sessions + mean lean hits and all about you. or dirty work sessions ........

but i totally agree with mrmuseo´s post! great quality files....

-------------------

it will depend on whether you play an instrument and on which are you favorite albums....

have fun and enjoy!

A good collection is Porky Production's LAID IN THE SHADEs

Very true

Unlike live recordings, bootlegs are usually the best source
