(This was my first band!  To make this recording I connected together a cheap mini-cassette recorder and a boom-box to get a simple two- mic set-up for the four of us to record around.  It’s raw and rough but it sure instilled in me the yearning to do more of this recording stuff and to save up money to buy decent equipment.  This early recording experience (I was 17) taught me the value of playing with each other and not against each other, mic placement, and made us concentrate on decent arrangements.)
