Notes

This practice session was recorded during the Summer of '93. (1) The original tapebox still has the sales sticker attached, showing that it was bought for the sum of $9.95 at American Music in Seattle, July 15, 1993. (2) The title, “E. Coli,” which is hand-written on the box, is thought to be a reference to an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 at Jack In The Box restaurants earlier that year. (3)
