Red Mosquito

I'm obsessed with archive.org and all the crazy "lost" stuff that can be found there (music, books, movies, software, magazines you name it.)

Found a recording of the original advance Alive cassette (sent to radio stations yes?):

Very different Mike solo which I've never heard before—otherwise sounds the same I think? Maybe this is old news but it's new to me—ha!

I think the take on the album version is superior but Mike seems more freewheeling here and I kinda dig it.

interesting

agree, the album solo much better

I have both. But man, that reissue is a missed opportunity. I don't like the black artwork. But the addition of 'dirty frank' is really stupid. Since that was recorded with Dave A around one year after this sampler promo was released!! This should have been the Ten outtake 'just a girl' (the still unreleased outtake not de ten redux demo)
