This selection tries to complete the Request 6CD bootleg with all tracks missed on Request.
This includes:
- special (radio)-edits,
- compilation appearances,
- duets,
- iTunes only bonustracks
- omissions of the original ReQuest.
Any addition will be welcomed and will be considered to be added to this collection.
Note I will not include tracks on which Nits members only have a minor role, like playing as a guest musician, or a production credit.

A demo recorded in 1978. This track was subsequently recorded by Dutch group “The Cats”
02 Blue Diamonds – The Cats (2:33)
Track written by Henk for Dutch group “The Cats”, first appearing on their anthology “Collected” in 2014. Nits don’t play on this track but I thought it had to be included to compare with the original demo.
