Xasthur - Rehearsals 1997-1999 (Red Vinyl)

LP (red transparent vinyl), padded inner sleeve, poster and protection sleeve (400 units available). With the first couple of rehearsals from '97 lost or stolen, there were a few between '97 and '99 that were saved and compiled. By 2013, Scott created a CDR containing those rehearsal tracks - reported as 200 copies having been created, however less than 100 were ever made available. With Scott on guitar and/ or drums, and aided by nameless musicians directed by Scott, the rehearsals were recorded on a cassette walkman at his home. The outcome of these recordings are very raw, dirty, lo-fi, live demo tracks, mostly instrumentals, with tracks 5 and 6 featuring vocals [by an anonymous helper]. All potential band members were soon dismissed. Today, Scott and Prophecy Productions unleash this excavated artifact. Ten tracks, long buried, from the original 2013 CDR, for the diehard extremist.
