this is one great mixtape again! thanks very much! early candle version gives you good example how they wrote songs, jamming and something like final version of candle came out from it. rain king as well. superb. i knew SYR 9 will be great stuff.

Early versions of Rain King and Candle are fascinating!

It's just a shame we didn't get more of these sort of things when Daydream Nation deluxe was released.

I am just listening mix tape (finally got enough time to do it) and so far all the stuff has been great!!! But SYR9 sounds the most excellent, hope time will pass soon and I will get that!

Great stuff! BTW: I totally snoozed on Mixtape Vol. 7. Did someone grab it? What was the tracklist?

Anyone else think candle sounds more like a Hoarfrost demo than a Candle demo?

That version of Star Power is great. Anybody know if there is more audio from that performance?
