about

Tar rehearsal tapes: December 1992; January 1993

We never bothered to record practices. We relied on memory, and whatever notes we could make (see dust sleeves, or cd art for Toast). If we forgot songs between practices, we figured they must not have been any good.

But for a couple practices when we were working on songs for what would become Toast, We gave it a shot. I don't know which songs came from which rehearsal, as the cassette we had doesn't indicate anything like that. We digitized the whole thing, including whatever tape glitches happen between songs, etc.

Tar super nuts will notice differences in the arrangements of many of these songs and their "final" versions on the Toast LP.

Tom recorded this on a cassette Portastudio. There were no vocals. We didn't ever have a vocal PA for Tar rehearsals. You can use this for your Tar Karaoke nights.

At the time, we had a practice space at 1231 N. Ashland in Chicago. The business downstairs had a law practice. We were delighted by the sign in the windows screaming "ABOGADOS," and took to using it in conversation as a greeting.
