SKU: EX 2201D

(Released in 1997.)

This was originally issued as a limited edition collection of 17 live, studio and demo recordings from Mike's self-described "non-illustrious past," drawn from a collection of five cassettes he marketed via mail order in the '80s and very early '90s. It's been out of print for a long time, and now it's available exclusively via download. Also included is an eight-page digital reproduction of the original CD cover, liner notes and lyrics.
