This is Monster Magnet's very first release only available on cassette, that they released on their own label, Cool Beans, in 1989. Essentially it is a collection of 4 track demos, with several of the songs being re-recorded for later albums. For these recordings, Monster Magnet was a three piece consisting of Dave Wyndorf, John McBain, and Tim Cronin.

I have no idea if this cd-r was mastered from an original cassette or a dub, nor do I know what method was used to transfer it to digital. Thus the ?? in the lineage. There is not an overbearing amount of hiss, so I'm guessing it's pretty low gen, if not taken from the actual cassette release (this is my guess, but I don't want to state it as such, without knowing for sure). The overall sound quality is excellent.
