I often add a judicious touch of processing to the cassette rips, usually to remove what hiss I can without introducing artifacts. Results vary, but the source material for these was in good shape.

There were no outtakes for the “In A Car” session. That recording went down quick and easy. There is a handful of demos from that record, however. Time permitting, they’ll make it to this site some day.

Are these tracks from a cassette? They sound fantastic! Am I imagining things or do they sound clearer (or more live?) than the finished album? Did you clean them up on the computer at all, or is it that they hadn’t gone through mastering/compression/EQ yet? Maybe it’s just that the instruments don’t have to compete in bandwidth with the vocals. Either way this is great – thanks so much for posting this.

PS Are there any “In A Car” outtakes or demos or (folding hands in prayer) acoustic or a-capella versions, or tunes that were overdubbed on a home stereo (at least it sounds that way) like the “Meat Puppets” demo on the 1st album reissue?

This will go great with my Zen Arcade instrumentals on SST karaoke night!

Thanks for posting!
