Notes by Abigail:
All original artists here (although there is no mention of anyone's name on the label), and a pretty mixed bag. Like many pirate 8's, this one has a vaguely-worded assurance on the label that royalties were paid and copyright laws followed. The eye-catching full color label art is certainly notable, as is the beautiful lavender plastic case. These touches, as well as the fact that the four programs are timed out pretty evenly, and the recording levels are somewhat stable, make this a relatively high-quality example of the bootlegger's art. I wonder if the Kirk part of the label's name, Kirk of the Heather, is someone's first name? Thanks to Big Bucks Burnett for this beautiful cart.
