Old CDs

Hi I am an ex-fan of the Foo Fighters, starting when rumors first surfaced of a Dave Grohl solo project to Colour and the Shape, their last good album. I must say the FOo Fighters have become of all things, quite ordinary now among pop-rock acts. Well anyway I found my CD binder today and was browsing through some CDs and I've come across two that Foo Fighter fans should not forget although they've been neglected.
1 - The Man Who Fell To Earth: this is an early, first album era bootleg with early (and kick ass) versions of S/T single b sides as well as TCATS songs. My first exposure to "My Hero" was off this bootleg, and comparing the album and subsequent live versions to this version is like "comparing chocolate and shit" or "a goddess and an old maid" to borrow some initial d analogies.
2 - Touch soundtrack: when I found this CD I knew the title track was good, but after popping in the CD the 3rd track is also good. These are very Dave Grohl solo-type songs, and the song Touch is also a duet with Louise Post.
If you are a fan of earlier Foo Fighters tracking these two CDs down may be worthwhile.
