J-Card CommentBOSTON WE FOUND IT IN THE TRASHCAN, HONEST! Remastered Edition Restored from the LP on Dragonfly Records BOSS-1 (1978) Lineage: My LP > 32-bit recording in Adobe Audition 1.5 > data CD > FLAC > you Here is the famous album of Tom Scholz' home studio demos for the first Boston album, which won him a contract with Epic Records. Declicked, denoised, pitch and phase corrected at Remasters Workshop, 2002. I have often thought this was a recording from a stereo FM broadcast, because I swear I can hear what sounds like grainy FM reception and slight multipath in a few spots. And it has that smooth, tight compression that sounds like FM radio. There are also late fade-ins and early fade-outs, which would explain omitting the DJ talking. But I've never been able to come up with any documentation to support it. Artwork is included. Track listing: 1 Rock And Roll Band 2 Life Isn't Easy (Something About You) 3 More Than A Feeling 4 Don't Be Afraid Of Love 5 Peace Of Mind 6 San Francisco Day (Hitch A Ride) Uploaded to TTD on March 13, 2009.

CommentThose are the infamous homemade recordings Tom Scholz made in his basement c. 1973-1975, which he then shopped around to various record companies. After securing the contract with CBS, the songs on the demos were ALL RE-RECORDED. Tom played all musical instruments except drums (which were played by Jim Masdea) and Brad Delp sang all vocals. Incidentally, Tom claims that these tapes were NOT found in a traschcan; rather, they were stolen from him.
