I've always thought jamming is their way to throw in ideas which eventually turn to be songs after several rounds of jamming and reworking those ideas. So that's why they record every rehearsal. I think that in the beginning those jams were not supposed to be released until someone listened tapes again and thought that hey, this sounds great! Maybe there have been some discussion or maybe not. I'm pretty sure that SYR1 & SYR2 are taken from some part of this iterative process, so they're not the first takes, but also not completely same songs than earlier takes. That's how I see it.
