This is a really excellent archival release of Glass material much of which has never seen the light of day. These are a collection of demos recorded by us in various locations and at various times in our past. Of particular note are the home demos both Greg and I did at various times all recorded on our Revox A77 Reel-to-Reel tape recorder we had. Even this many years later the recorded quality sounds great!

We used to rehearse out at the Lindquist family property near Fort Worden. Their beautiful home in Port Townsend overlooked The Strait of Juan de Fuca, and had some old WWII military buildings on it to watch for submarines. One of them was an outbuilding we called "The Bunker"－even though it wasn't really an underground bunker, it kind of felt that way inside. The Lindquist family were so cool (Gus Lindquist played the trumpet, and his daughter Ann still plays flute). When we asked if we could practice there they, like the Munds had earlier in our career, said "Sure! Just don't play too late into the evening." We did anyhow as I recall.

This is the second set of recordings we did after drafting Paul Black into Glass. He presented a different way to play - much more "rock" oriented and challenged Greg and me to reach some creative places in our minds we hadn't gone before. He was in retrospect, a "groove" drummer. He was also a songwriter himself and knew the value of leaving spaces in our music. For his part he commented to me later "Glass was the hardest and (most satisfactory) original band" he had ever been in. In fact, Paul was in many ways our Daevid Allen in that he understood what our music was from the very beginning and had an appreciation for shall we say unconventional thinking when it came to creating. He encouraged Greg's and my "No Rules in music" way of being at the time. To this day we remain tried and true friends and he still plays and records with us from time to time.

We did get some some fine material out of that old shack. Enjoy this bit of Glass nostalgia most of which has never been released before.

The home recording of "Butter" was long thought lost, and that band demo of Greg's "Elmer" was another. Hadn't heard a couple of those for decades! Finding the home recording of the "Bring Me The Butter" suite was a real find. We've been searching for that for years! Made Greg VERY happy!
