Here is the last of the 14 AUDIO collections that I had not posted for a while. It looks like the last thing that I posted from Barry’s collection took place in early 2023. From here on out, you can expect an audio post from every one of the 14 collections in rotation.
This tape blew my mind. The first 25min has Barry and the band talking. It’s part interview and part them screwing around. At the 25 minute mark, the rehearsal demo starts. Never heard the first song before, and most of the rest are played at radically different tempos than their album versions. Wildly entertaining listen for fans of the band.

From Barry:

That’s crazy. I don’t think I’ve heard that tape since it was recorded. That was in my garage bedroom at my parents house in Houston. So young and green. With Kurt and Eric Brecht. Was it on reel to reel or cassette? Had a stereo reel to reel at the time. Two mics. We were goofing off and making noises when slowing down or speeding up the reel.
