The Rust List Version of
Neil's Long Awaited Archives

In early 1995, long-time-Rusty Steve Peck got tired of waiting for Neil to get back to work on his archives. (Neil has some nerve, being distracted with making us NEW albums every year! :-) So he decided "Archives be damned! We'll do it ourselves!"

He searched his tape collection and compiled a list of unreleased songs. It was long enough to fill three 90 minute tapes! He put out calls for better copies of some of the songs that he had that he felt weren't good enough. Eventually he got the best that he could find. Most were just fine. Others had no better versions available, and so are included on the ABD tapes in their "ragged glory".

While Steve put the tapes together, newer-Rusty Locator went to work on his Mac and came up with some outta-sight J-cards for them, colorful enough to induce acid-flashbacks... :-)

Tape trees were then run to distribute the ABD tapes across the Rust world, FREE OF CHARGE (other than blank tape and mailing costs) to any Rusty who wished to join the tree.

Note: To arrange a trade for any of these tapes, join the Rust list! See the Intro page of this section of HyperRust for more details...

Following are the contents of each tape, as described by Steve Peck...
