notes: culled from various cassettes received in trade 1989-1991. i hadn’t seen “rough mixes and outtakes” or “83 demo”
before, and haven’t seen them since. quality varies widely from very listenable 8.5 [tracks 4 through 10] to damn lo-fi
[tracks 20 and 21]. i’ve cut those tracks from the roir rough mixes and outtakes that do not significantly differ from
their release versions. speaking of, the rough mixes and outtakes are subject to their own special kind of degradation
which can actually be overlooked in light of the “unearthed” nature of the recording. kind of like riding a carousel.
i have no idea who’s singing on track 20. “80 demo” is constructed from the best of two slightly differing sources. in
all cases, generational loss has some degree of impact upon the recording, and some hiss remains after noise reduction.
