Okkervil River: Stolen Opportunities Mixtape

Okkervil River: Stolen Opportunities Mixtape

The "Golden" Opportunities Mixtapes were free downloadable albums by indie rock band Okkervil River. Originally released as a free download from the band's website. They contained all covers except one live version of an original (so I've done the same here!). I felt there was too many cool covers here to leave behind & decided to create a 'Stolen' companion to the official 'Golden' collection. For some reason It starts with 2 Neil Young songs, so for some other reason then it ends with 2 Leonard Cohen songs...there is method in the madness here somewhere!

Sourced from an old beat-up hard drive...Audio files have been adjusted (Levels & fade-in/out) on some tracks to make for a better listening experience. Sound quality varies from excellent to listenable...
