1992 Demo Tape
It is unknown exactly what band this tape falls under. Going on the tracks it appears to be Blind Faith. The tape was given to Carl Andrews by Kelly. It was a very rough recording for Carl to listen to, to see if he wanted to join the band. An Interesting fact is on track 3 it has an old singer on it, which could be Leighton.
