Album Info

Release Date: 2017

Label: Lycium Music

From the soundcloud release page:

Ghosts of Lycia. Early demos, lost songs and alternate versions. Documenting the collaborations of Mike VanPortfleet and John Fair between November 1988 to April 1989. Raw, quickly recorded songs but pure to the initial spirit of the band.
Rescued from old and very decayed cassettes (so the sound quality is rough at times).
