©POOR MAN'S COPYRIGHT
DISCLAIMER:
Poor Man's Copyright was recorded in the waning hours
of 1992. Up to that point, Adam and I had written a whopping 16 songs and were nervous
that we would die before anyone (least of all, us) would ever get to hear them. So we did
what any aspiring garage musicians would do: we set up a lame recording mechanism and
played the songs. Ostensibly, it was to audition drummers and bass players, but we all
know it was for primarily masturbatory purposes.
At any rate, here we are, six years later, and I still can't play the guitar. What's weirder is that even though Adam and I have a rhythm section and two cds behind us, people still want the "Rand and Adam Tape." So, with a bit of trepidation, we are making the tape available to those who truly need it.
WARNINGS: This tape is poorly recorded and at places even more poorly performed. It's live and neither of us had played guitar for more than a year. It's got sixteen songs, six of which have been rerecorded in one form or another on Ookla's cds, four of which may eventually appear on an Ookla cd, and six of which you're unlikely to ever hear again outside of this tape. (Which means, a) they're collector's items, and b) they suck.) If you're not already a fan of Ookla the Mok, I'd advise you to stay well clear of this. You have been warned.
Rand Bellavia, 1998
