Last week, Barry Mills Prickett dropped some Pivot tapes off for digitizing. There was an original Whirlwind demo in the bag, along with this DAT. The DAT has all of the same songs as the demo in different order and the quality difference between the two is night and day– the DAT is waaay better. So, let’s start with this one and we’ll see if Whirlwind gets posted in the future.

One of the fun things about this hobby/website is that people reach out to me randomly about things. That is how Jim Edwards got his Guns n Roses/Crest tape to me, and a bunch of other folks have given tapes/offered support/etc. It’s nice to hear from folks, so keep the cards and letters coming! One word of caution- if you are looking to trade, my hobby time is 100% dedicated to digitizing collections that have been sent to me. I can add you to a waiting list if you are cool with that. Sorry. Herbicide were friends (frenemies?) of ours in the late 80s. Our band (CCR) and Herbicide would practice at the same time at Pus Cavern. I thought that Rob D (the Kyle from Dr Know sounding vocalist) was their first vocalist, but this tape has Steve Graham on vocals who apparently preceded Rob. Also on this recording are my friend and former bandmate Scott Oakes (R.I.P.), Scott Campbell, and Jim Woo on bass. This tape comes from Tyla Biale- thanks for reaching out! First few minutes of the tape is pretty messed up with nothing in one channel. It gets better after a couple min.
