Another rarity from our friend who wants to stay anonymous.
Same story as with The Spotlight Kid Outtakes: at first the tapes were made for a former band member in order to learn the tunes. Our guy got his tape directly from him, transferred the tapes to CDR using a stand alone CD burner.
Thank you very much again to Mr. Anonymous!
