From Dave’s Collection of H cassette tapes.  A little of everything.

Jef adds: We used the material from this tape as a demo.  A1-4 was side one of the demo and A5-8, B1-2 was side two.  We used that tape with one of two photos, either the “H Promo Photo” or the “H Portrait” depending on the presentation needs, and would have the tape rewound to the appropriate side.  These were recorded at the Box Factory rehearsal space in Dorcestor and have a lot of overdubbing.

Ken [Lubinsky] and I went to Newton in July 2008 to help the Cawthons clear out Dave’s house.  Justin also stopped by and I told him that I would take the recordings to be ripped and circulated.  The only original tape he wanted that day was this recording.

He and Dave had [recorded over a] Steely Dan tape to record some rock ideas.  Justin made me a copy and took the original because he wanted to continue working with the material. He said it was recorded around 2000. Justin is currently playing bass in a band called Man Alive!

Jef writes: Sdadety is one of the “winter 95/96″ tapes [Vol. II].  The cover and title were made by Glenn and is a one of a kind.  Recorded at the box factory.  There are still a few other selections from the winter tapes that aren’t on here or the acoustic/electric (Maurice) demo.
