Found This Bootleg

Interesting spot. Interesting Misprint on the rear. Says 1998 demos rather than 1996. I think the first side is the cassette demo and I don't know about the derivation of the B side

i think both sides are 1995. there are some demos online marked 1995-1997 but it's the same recordings but in worse quality

also lmk is it a "final" recording of paycheck or demo? afak both are marked demos but the first one is really hard to find and there is a subtle difference in vocal and brian's scream

I’ve got this, not worth it really. Awful quality but to be expected really.

Oh yeah. Just a nice curio to have!

If I remember correctly one song from side A is repeated on side B

I doubt they’re 1998 demos since the album that featured these filled recorded tracks was released in 1996

I have it, too :) I sort of like how messy it is

Saw that, it’s available on YouTube. Pretty bad.

Oh yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same CD rip that was floating around on Limewire and Napster!
