Drive Like Jehu - 1990 Demo Tape

[@eternaut9729]

RIP Rick, such shocking news...

[@revolverspsychedelicbreakf8747]

Horrifying news. This past week has been non stop awful, this just sealed it for me…

Shit, I didn't even know (I don't sign into this account all that often).

three minutes in and this recording quality is so cool. It sounds like it was recorded on a really dirty shoebox cassette player using the built in condenser.

[@ab8817]

i think the recording was fine, just the tape duplication wasnt great and the tape itself is old now

[@RustinChole]

WHAT ......thank you. I was just listening to the s/t, 7” and Yank Crime on Christmas Eve, and this popped up in my feed. Been a fan since Yank Crime was released. Best Christmas present ever.

Weird. None of us remember recording a demo. What is this from and where did you get this? I think this is a different mix of the 1st record but I can’t tell. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Hi John, hope you're doing well. Certainly happy to get a comment from one of the artists! I downloaded this from a Wordpress blog called killingtechnology. Great blog but it hasn't been updated in many years, and the original download link is now dead. Apparently this tape had surfaced a few years before (that was 10 years ago). The guy who ran the blog appears to be Pete Burns from England who runs a record label called Traqueto Records. Hopefully he still use the email address he listed and could give you more information.
