I went into the cassette vault looking for something that I never did find. But I emerged (gasping for breath) with a handful of my favorite demos and DIY releases from some Minnesota and Wisconsin bands from the heyday of the late ’80s and early ’90s. I didn’t have anything to do with making these recordings; I just like ‘em.
