I found this recording online of a soundcheck from Lovetown '89 in Auckland. Since that was an outdoor show someone could record the soundcheck. Last couple of days I tried to clean up the heavy wind noise from with adobe audition. It doesn't really make it sound better, but at least there's some more detail audible.
What's unique about this recording:
At around 07:00 they start playing an early (and cool) version of Trying to throw your arms around the world. This is a very cool version with lots of cool guitar and bass bits, and some recognizable "bongloese"
At 13:50 they play another new song. This is likely one of the "blow your house down" incarnations, starting out with similar chords to the beach jam version of that song. It also has guitar bits that remind of Ultraviolet. Chord sctructure also reminds of "I feel free", which was an early version of Until the end of the world on the stolen AB demo tapes. So this seems to be a a hybrid of ideas, haven't tried figuring any lyrics out yet..
