From David Hayes, at the Very Small Records website:
“The crappy quality OPIV boots were starting to come out. I decided to do my own. These are FIRST generation tapes (I took my own tape deck to the recording session at Gilman Street.) Graphics, Photos, Backup vocals and Logo by me.
The colored vinyl versions are bootlegs of this bootleg.”
