Are we rolling...?

Artist: Miscellaneous Recordings
Year: 2007

Notes: Outtakes of the highest order from many artists: Little nuggets of weirdness captured on tape. This library of oddities and strangeness had no other place to live in the archive. Weird little tunes and noises, bands that only existed for one song, etc. Most are very short and odd in their own way. Hilarious! Recorded & produced by M. Sommers, except where noted. Performed by various people at various locations. Digitized and re-mastered from original 2-track cassette tapes or CDs by M. Sommers. See track notes for details.
