Notes:
-----
The track order of these songs is the original order that they were on the cassette.
Likely the same order as played back by Warren. I do not believe all of these songs
were recorded at the same time, on the same day. There are no official, or accurate
song names - all are guesses. I've seen tracks listed as: 'trippy time', 'cancan',
'tabula rasa', 'magic pill', etc. which may have been working titles as some point.
I am not aware of any physical cassettes, DATs or CDRs handed out by Warren, Nick or
Simon of this material.
Almost all of these tracks are without Simon's vocals, and are not the final song
versions. The sound level varies on all tracks - depending on the position of the
taper, as well as the microphone hidden within his coat! Not all songs are complete -
they were either truncated by the taper, or by Warren himself. There is some talking
by Warren and others that you can hear.
Created on June 1 & 2, 1998.
