I have 'Precious Cargo'.  The sound quality is a bit rough (but not bad),
but the songs/performances are FANTASTIC!  I easily rank it up there with
the two "official" albums.  I'd say it's essential for serious High
Tide/Simon House fans.

One of the most flattering things I've ever heard was after Primordial
Undermind opened for Bevis Frond at the Insidious Spectacle fest in
Philadelphia last September, Nick said to Eric Arn (head Underminder)
something along the lines of, "you didn't tell me that you sound like
bloody High Tide these days!"  (and I'll be the first person to tell you
that I'm no Simon House!  only in my wildest dreams!)
