Notes

I received this tape in a trade a long time ago but know nothing about what it was recorded with. The recording is a bit distant and overall the quality is not too great, but it's the only source we have. I have not run across any active traders or collectors with this tape, so I think this is as good as it's going to get! Bullet in the Head cuts out midway through on the first side of the tape, so the second half is missing.
