. . . you might want to come next door, the Internet is playing a bit of your past.

These rare recordings have been remastered from the original audio-cassettes and digitally enhanced to remove hiss and other noise. High quality modern digital mastering methods sometimes reveal the weakness of the original analogue recordings.* If anyone has photographs or artwork of the bands, or can date the studio recordings, please contact me <mail@gabrielegan.com>.

*Like Nish playing the wrong note or Iggy dropping his sticks.
