Description

Brad Delp's collection of 21 audio cassette tapes, most marked in Delp's own hand on the spine or label, featuring songs from Boston, RTZ, solo work, and the Beatles. Title annotations and contents include: Pine Knob '95; Boston Vocal Master; RTZ 12-93; Dave's Tracks; Brad & Barry; Barry Multitrack; Monks Multitrack; I Need Your Love (Delp & Goudreau alternate take); Surrender to Me (Dave & Curly harmonies); Hard Time and Fool For Love Home Demo; Brad's vocals (Boston songs); multitrack Boston tour harmonies; Barry's Tunes (with instrumentals and early takes of Delp & Goudreau tracks); six tapes marked as Beatles harmony masters; and Beatles @ Abbey Rd Studio. Also includes two additional empty cases marked as Beatles. The most interesting tape may be one marked "Boston (Live 1978) (1987)," which is defective and slow, needing pitch correction, but featuring the songs 'Amanda,' 'Long Time,' 'Don't Look Back,' an interview with Brad Delp, and the album versions of 'Cool the Engines,' 'I Think I Like It,' 'Peace of Mind,' and others. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a cardboard box with a shipping label addressed to Brad Delp at his New Hampshire home. Brad would record his own harmonies of Boston songs to teach each new member: he would record each individual harmony part using portions that he sang, and then would give a cassette tape to the new member so they knew what to sing.
