::: Very fine clear stereo AUD. Check samples for for nope or yep prognostications.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Some volume fluctuation. Occasional taper talk (a bit in #07 & too much in #09). #10 cuts after 30secs.

Line-up (unconfirmed) ::: David Roback- electric guitar // Hope Sandoval - vocals // Suki Ewers(?) - keyboards // Keith Mitchell- drums // AND? William Cooper? Aaron Sherer?

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 360 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Been meaning to add this one to the Opal pool for some years but it kept getting waylaid. Very heavy music & some fine listening, tho' too bad it's truncated. This band got overshadowed by its predecessor over the years but certainly deserved/deserves better recognition than they ever got. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
