about

BEGIN SAYS have been active during the years 1983-91. This is the 1st volume of ultra rare archives never published before, in addition to "Printed & Lost 1983-91" released on Infrastition label. We tried to improve the most as we can the sound quality of these old tapes (most of the time, 1st or 2d generation K7, sometimes 7 inch Reel Tape). Note : EDIT mention means we have made an editing choice when a track was too long or contained weak passages.
