Boston   ??/??/1975

We Found It In The Trashcan, Honest!, Watertown, MA
Media CDR   1 disc
Notes "WE FOUND IT IN THE TRASHCAN, HONEST!"

Q. I have a bootleg album called "We Found It In The Trashcan, Honest!",
which appears to be early demos of the songs from the first BOSTON album.
What's the story here?

A. Those are the infamous homemade recordings Tom Scholz made in his basement
c. 1973-1975, which he then shopped around to various record companies. After
securing the contract with CBS, the songs on the demos were ALL RE-RECORDED.
Tom played all musical instruments except drums (which were played by Jim Masdea)
and Brad Delp sang all vocals.

The song list is:

01 Rock N Roll Band
02 Life Isn't Easy [early version of "Something About You"]
03 More Than A Feeling
04 Don't Be Afraid Of Love
05 Peace Of Mind
06 San Francisco Day [early version of "Hitch A Ride"].

Incidentally, Tom claims that these tapes were NOT found in a traschcan; rather,
they were stolen from Scholz.
