Stevie Ray Vaughan MEGA-RARE 1983 Demo Tape. "Dirty Pool" UNHEARD

Описание: I bought this off a guy on eBay in about 2000 for $20. He said his dad owned a club in Chicago, Stevie Played there in 1983 and this was the tape Stevie's manager gave him to demo the band when he was booked. It came with a publisher's promo photo of Stevie and a copy of a newspaper article from the Daily News, Sunday May29, 1983, about six months before the release of Stevie's debut/breakthrough 'Texas Flood' album.

The cassette has three songs; two early studio recordings (Rude Mood, Pride and Joy) and a 9 minute plus live recording of Dirty Pool. I was already a hardcore SRV fan and had heard most of what was out there, but I had never heard any of these recordings before. I had the boot 'First Thunder' which featured early SRV&DT studio recordings and which included both Rude Mood and Pride and Joy, but they didn't match. These two songs were a mystery for a few years until they were revealed to be from the 1978 Nashville album that was relocated in a cupboard in Austin a few years later. While it was good to hear the rest of that album, I'll admit that I was a bit disappointed cos suddenly my tape wasn't so 'exclusive' any more.

The live recording of 'Dirty Pool' is however still exclusive to this demo tape; it's a high quality soundboard recording and I've never heard it anywhere else. I have no idea when or where it was recorded, so if you've heard this recording before and can enlighten me about its origins, please leave info in the comments.
