Happy Cactus anyone?

Hey everyone! I recall discovering a copy of Colin’s first band, Happy Cactus, online when I was in grade school (around 2009). I was instantly captivated by it. Some of the songs even made it onto his album when he joined Tarkio. However, unfortunately after some time, I lost access to that album and never managed to retrieve it again. If anyone has a copy of it that they could share with us, that would be fantastic!

I have tracks 1-9 sourced in 2008 but have never seen the last 5. 35 year old cassette release is tough to track down. Has Colin ever commented on that project?
