SOUND QUALITY: "Lookin' for Ya" comes from the original vinyl, and rates a 9. The All Shook Down demos come from a very good tape source, and rate an 8. The Sorry Ma outtakes rate a 7, coming from a pretty good tape source. The Hootenanny outtakes and live stuff ranks about a 6. The Tim demos only rank about a 5 in sound quality... listenable, but a bit harsh sounding.
