I think the reporter has his/her stories mixed up. DAT copies of the "End Cole Avenue" tapes were sold to an Italian collector (Guido Piccinnetti) by the original sound engineer (Jeff LeGood) back in 1990 or 1991. They were subsequently bootlegged by Aulica. I gave Guido the tape copy of the "honeymoon acetate" songs which appeared on "The First Night".

There seems to be a lot of bad reporting on this set. So far, the only things that seem credible are the Amazon entry and the Musictap track listing (if only because it's so specific, and it's hard to imagine the circumstances where they'd get scammed into posting it-- but that's not impossible, either). Everything else seems to be recycling these points, or drawing on (sometimes misunderstood) previously documented information.

Release date changed yet again. Now Amazon US has Nov. 20 as the release date. I wonder what's going on?
