I also signed in here after years hoping someone ripped good copies of the demos from the new bossanova and trompe reissues :)



you can find those here under "news" I believe

These seem quite different from The Purple Tape.

Hmm, could be wrong, he mentions a better source... but I'd never seen it appear anywhere else before uploading! It does sound a lot better, and of course it wouldn't have been the only copy out there.

Weirdly just logged in here after many years (looking for decent Trompe/Bossa demos)... and I can semi-answer this!

I uploaded the demos here from a cassette I ordered via an ad in the Rock-a-My-Soul fanzine #3 around... 1992? 93? This one: https://www.reddit.com/r/thebreeders/comments/18iiro8/rock_a_my_soul_no3_1992/

Someone remastered them to sound a lot less noisy, and I assume these came from there.

I've never found out what session or studio these were meant to be from -- I recall them listed as '1986 Demos'. No idea how true that is as they're not documented anywhere and that's all the tape said. It started with the Purple Tape (long before its official release), and had these too. I think I had to ask for which recordings I wanted on the tape.

You might get dire warnings as I haven't set up my SSL cert again, but my 2019 from-cassette FLAC recording is here:

The original post should here somewhere...
