I have a bootleg album called “We Found It In The Trashcan, Honest!”, which appears to be early demos of the songs from the first BOSTON album. Whats the story here?

A. Those are the infamous homemade recordings Tom Scholz made in his basement c. 1973-1975, which he then shopped around to various record companies. After securing the contract with CBS, the songs on the demos were ALL RE-RECORDED. Tom played all musical instruments except drums (which were played by Jim Masdea) and Brad Delp sang all vocals. The song list is: Rock N Roll Band/ Life Isn’t Easy [early version of “Something About You”]/ More Than A Feeling/ Don’t Be Afraid Of Love/ Peace Of Mind/ San Francisco Day [early version of “Hitch A Ride”]. Incidentally, Tom claims that these tapes were NOT found in a traschcan; rather, they were stolen from Scholz.
