Hard To Exist//   [05:51.663]                Total: [49:20.584] * with Joan Osborne on vocals Flaws: The first note of 100 Years is missing, and Hard To Exist cuts out. If there is more to this recording, it is not on this tape and does not circulate to the best of my knowledge. History: Rich Vink recalls: "[These were] work mixes from pre-production tracks we did. Dropping Some NYC was a finished thing they sold at gigs, we recorded more stuff at Greene St. before they got signed but they never got put out. Me and [Dave Swanson] had more access to Greene St. downtime and were recording the [Spin Doctors'] first self-release, Chris Whitley and those Traveler tracks in and around the Fear of a Black Planet and Daydream Nation set ups." Notes: Rich's comments date these recordings sometime between July/August of 1988 (when Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" was recorded) and June through October of 1989 (when Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet" was recorded). But given that the "Dropping Some NYC" demo was recorded the day after Christmas 1988 at LoHo Studios rather than Greene St., these are likely recordings made during the later window in 1989. And due to the nature of the work mixes, no official cassette release or artwork was likely ever available. Weird Chick, 100 Years, and Dropping Some NYC are on the "Dropping Some NYC" demo as well, but are different recordings. Weird Chick has some swirling guitar sounds at the beginning and Brendan's drum kicks in later than the previous version; 100 Years features Joan Osborne rather than Roger Fox; and Dropping Some NYC has a longer intro and does not feature extra backing vocals during the outro. Finally, this is the only known studio recording of Hard To Exist; the Spin Doctors would release their own version on the "Can't Say No" demo in late 1989, and then on "Pocket Full Of Kryptonite" in 1991.
