V.A. - Mynd The Gap

This compilation from 1997 was obviously a bootleg (no label or number). There are some interesting tracks like the two acetate versions by "Cressida" that found their way in a better version on their first album or "Henri Schifter" with his great freak-out version of "Another Time" (originally by Pearls Before Swine aka Tom Rapp). Also great music comes from "Autumn", "Mooche" or "Shere Khan". The thumbs go down for the quality of the sound. Sure, there are some acetates or radio versions here but also the original releases sound like they come from an old C-60 cassette.
