THE LOST DEMOS. The Early Years In 1968 seven of these songs were recorded at Glen Campbell Studio in Pittsburgh, Pa. Asphalt Mother and Reach Out were recorded the same year at Bell Sound Studio, Long Island, New York and released on Morning Glori Label as a 45 RPM single. The Glen Cambell tracks were never released. The Master Tape disappeared. Except for a brief appearance of the 33 1/3 rpm acetate in 1983, when three or four cassettes were made from it, the songs remained lost and forgotten for decades. The acetate itself is now lost. Then in 2004 one of the cassettes was found and a CD was made from it. It was remastered again, twice to improve the sound, but it was useless. Late in 2005 Rick Ravenscroft came across a better quality cassette in the posession of Evan Jones and started the remastering all over again. Although the newer cassette had vastly better sound quality than the first one, audiophiles should not expect perfect digital quality. However collectors and fans will enjoy the raw, live sound mastered from best possible sources albeit with inherent sonic limitations.
