Dinosaur Jr. releases lost track from 1988

In late 1988 or early 1989, when Dinosaur Jr. entered the Fort Apache studio to record a Neil Young cover for the The Bridge: A Tribute to Neil Young album, they recorded not one, but two tracks: "Lotta Love," which was used, and "I've Been Waiting For You." The latter was never released, but Lou Barlow recently posted the MP3 on his website.

"I found the cassette of this stuff while home for the holidays...it hasn’t aged well, not the condition of the tape (sounds whooshy and chewed), not the performance of ‘I’ve Been Waiting For You’…it ain’t great, but it’s rare,” Barlow said.

Listen to it here.
