Jaguars- “IC Tape” plus Psych Background Video transfer from master VHS and Cassette Tapes

Today’s video post is actually an audio/video combo post. All of Scott Davey’s videos that need to be transferred were Beta or other formats except for this one VHS tape. The tape had silent Psychedelic background that (I assume) was used for Jaguars shows. It said something like “Jaguars Psych” on it. So I took one of Scott’s Jaguard audio tapes and paired it with the background. There is more of this Psych background tape, so I might do this for the next Jaguars post as well. Better than watching a photo of a tape while it plays, haha.

Grace Period- Demo 1990 xfer f/master demo tape Hard Rock Glam Los Angeles?

This one is from Anonymous 3’s collection and I have no info on the band at all, beyond what you see here. No listing on discogs, no Shazam ID, no Youtube Copyright ID. Nothin’. If anyone has any info, please reach out. I do like it more than most from this genre.

Filth- Practice no date xfer f/unknown gen cassette Lookout Records Punk

I’m late! You are still getting 3 posts today. The first one is from the latest batch of tapes from Robert Eggplant. I just dropped his tapes off in Pinole yesterday. We still have enough stuff from Robert to last years, even with the faster collections schedule now.
What you see is what I know. I don’t know when or where this took place. It sounds like a small studio or 4 track recording.
Yes, I cram tapes that look like this into the Nakamichi Dragon. Plays them like a champ.

Oh whoops. Only the first 18min is Filth. I forgot to trim the rest of the tape.

Soul- Demo Los Angeles Hard Rock / Heavy Metal Band xfer from master demo cassette

This one is from Anonymous 3’s collection. I had a hard time finding anything about the band so I asked Anon and he helped me find a facebook group about the band.

It looks like the band was active in the 1990’s and they had 1 song on an EMI promo compilation (shown here). The band consisted of Kevin Roentgen and Tom (last name?) and the rest of the people in the band (and on this demo) are unclear. Any help is appreciated.

Kevin started up that facebook group and a youtube page which had seemed to be popular, but there have been no new posts for almost a year now.

No song titles. If anyone knows them, help me out! Thanks

Sweet Children / Green Day- Billie Joe’s tape to Arica Demo and 7″ Sessions tape complete

It’s a late for the collections post today. Sorry Arica!
When I posted the Sweet Children demo last month, people chimed in and wanted to hear the entire tape that Billie Joe gave to Arica, so here you go. Check out “Words I Might Have Ate” from the 1,000 hours session. There is awesome stuff throughout this tape. Enjoy!

Asbestosdeath- Dejection EP Demos/Outtakes 1990 Sludge Doom Metal Sleep Matt Pike High on Fire OM

Daniel Hague (curator of the cool but inactive distort blog) asked about this one last week, so I figured I would work it up. This one comes from Radley’s collection and appears to be from the 1st 7″ session, with multiple versions of the 2 songs that appeared on that release.
Thse are tracks 3-9 from this CD. Track 1 and 2 are clearly released already.. but if any of the remaining other stuff has not been surfaced, let me know and I’ll get it posted.
For those of you who would like a primer, here it is courtesy of Discogs:
Early 90s band which included future members of Sleep, High On Fire, Noothgrush and OM. They released two 7-inch records in 1990 – “Dejection” and “Unclean”, both of which were reissued as “Dejection/Unclean” CD/10″ by Southern Lord in 2007.
After the second 7″, Thomas Choi left to form Noothgrush and band changed its name to Sleep.

Recorded by: Radley Hirsch

Asbestosdeath- Live Soundboard xfer from master audio cassette Sludge Doom Metal Sleep High on Fire

I am not real big on celebrating Thanksgiving, but if you do “give thanks”, then we should all thank the contributors to Sac Music Archive for all of this amazing crap they send my way. Wayne Vanderkuil, Rick Sylvain, Doug Goodman, and so many more… including this guy Radley Hirsch.
I went over to Radley’s house a while back and he handed me one of those CD binders full of his favorite live sets. I ripped them to my laptop hard drive and this folder was labeled “Neurosis Asbestos Death see pic”. So I had to dig through old cellphone pics on my hard drive to find this image.
This is the “track 11/12” part of this CD. Track 1 and 2 are clearly released already.. but if any of thise other stuff has not been surfaced, let me know and I’ll get it posted.

Sacramento Cable- Skateboarders, Wanted by Police PSA, and Tim Busfield Xfer Master/Low Gen VHS 1990

Here’s a bonus post for today that is only somewhat related to music. This was at the end of Ed Carroll’s VHS of Stoned Jehovah and others live in studio. This starts with some skateboarding footage (w/ some sweet Satriani audio, so there’s the music for you). Oh, speaking of skateboarding, tickets for the N-Men documentary screening are going fast- be sure to pick one up at crest sacramento dot com ASAP if you want to go. It’s gonna sell out. After skateboarding, you get a PSA of some most wanted crime breakers, then finally you get a Tim Busfield promo. What’s not to love?
Speaking of bonus posts, I WILL finally get going on Brook Shattuck’s excellent photo archive tomorrow- they will accompany my audio/video posts daily until I run out.
