Small Feces is a two-part compilation album by the Norwegian rock band Turbonegro, released in 2005 on Bitzcore Records. It features 42 songs and documents the first steps from the beginning in 1989 until the Ass Cobra times ca.1997. It contains a lot of unreleased/unheard material, 7-inches, compilation tracks and other gems. Most of the songs have never been available on CD format before, are re-mixed and re-mastered.
The first edition was released in April 2005, limited to 1,000 copies. It is a three-CD box set with a cardboard box. The three digi-packed CDs consist of:
Disc 1: 19 tracks (with more of the later stuff)
Disc 2: 23 tracks (the early period)
Disc 3: CD ROM with assorted press stuff/articles.
Plus detailed booklet with a chronological song guide, liner notes, discography, illustrations.
A 12-inch vinyl version was released in December 2005. These were 300 hand numbered mail-order-only copies on lime green wax w/ traces of white swirl. It contains a four-page folder with many pictures, a song guide and the band's history.
Small Feces includes basically all the exclusive songs from Turbonegro's many vinyl-only releases starting with their debut single Route Zero and the TurboloidEP on Straitjacket Records, the Vaya Con Satan single on Sympathy, continuing with several bonus tracks and b-sides from their records for Sympathy, Munster, Big Ball, Hit Me! and Bad Afro plus a handful of songs released solely on compilations. We also get 8 never released outtakes from recording sessions between 1989 and 1994, and also included are four songs from a 1995 live show in Copenhagen, Denmark, and the two songs of Turbonegro's Computech cassette which were recorded at their first ever rehearsal in January 1989.
There are misspellings of the band name on the covers of Vol. 1 and 2 in the three-CD box set. The error reads 'TBRNGR' when in fact it should read 'TRBNGR'.
The song material on disc 1 presents the studio recordings of the Turbonegro line-up with Hank on vocals, most of this material was mastered from the original tapes handed over to Bitzcore by Turbonegro's long-time recording engineer Christian Calmeyer.
"1970 (I Feel Alright)" (The Stooges cover, Computech cassette)
Disc 2 has studio material that dates before 1993 with former vocalists Harald Fossberg and Pål Erik Carlin.
