notes: tracks 1-14: “studio 1970” (aka apartment demos 1966)
***while this version of the “apartment demos” may be
of inferior sound quality (you can decide for yourself),
the CC Rider on the circulating copy is messed up with
tracks bleeding into each other. The CC Rider is ok on
this source so you ocd’ers might want to update that one
track as an “upgrade”.
The rest of the material, tracks 15-20, were all new to me
and hopefully new to the taping community as well. Track 20
is especially interesting and good sound quality.

tracks 15-19: unknown session
Pigpen – guitar, piano
Michael – vocals
track 20 – Pigpen w/NRPS(!!) “early ’73 – studio”
stereo sbd
For those who already have the “Pigpen Apartment Demos” this is worth checking out if only for track 20. I still can’t wrap my ahead ahead Pigpen fronting NRPS but they sound great together. The date on that track (early 1973) seems suspect since Pigpen passed away in March of 1973 and the home demos that have surfaced from that time have his vocals being very thin. This vocal w/NRPS is quite robust making me wonder if it could be from an earlier time. In any case, thanks for this cool post.
