Most of these recordings were made (by today's recording standards) in a primitive fashion. Many of them were 1 or 2 mic recordings out in front of the band (really crappy mics) into old reel to reel decks. The "Strutt 77" tunes were made on my little Sony TC-280, that I bought in 1971. I'm looking at it right now in fact. Doesn't perform like she used to though. 

All the Bill's Basement stuff is mostly 1 or 2 takes and were recorded starting in 2006 or so. The Charlie Midnight tunes were recorded in a nice Manhatten studio on tape in the early eighties and some of his others were just a boom box sitting on a table at Max's Kansas City in NYC around the same time. Most of the other stuff were made on the fly with little or no rehearsal. The Degenerates was my son Justyn's band, and a great band they were. If you get into the content and spirit and energy with less regard for the quality, you find some incredible performances here. I hope you enjoy these tunes. I certainly did making them.
