Shocking to no one, this is a bootleg release from 1988 that contains what is labeled at “82 demos” on side A and “83 rehearsals” on side B. The demo tracks appear to be a partial rip of the band’s No Life ‘Til Leather demo but reordered and missing “Seek And Destroy” and “Phantom Lord”. The rehearsal side does sound like a pre-Ride The Lightning era rehearsal recording, but it does not include the listed “Creeping Death” at the end, sadly. It’s one of the very first bootlegs i bought in my life, so I’m pretty soft on this one. Still a good spin every now and then.
1988 US bootleg pressing credited to Galaxy Records (on the sleeve) and Tiger Beat Records (on the label). Had this forever… probably since 1989-90. Can’t seem to find any of the rehearsal cuts online, but linking to the full demo.
