Angel Eyes
Believe Me
Simple Rhyme
Take Your Whiskey Home
These are rumored to be from 1973, but are most likely 1974 based on the timeline of the band’s development. It is also rumored that Mark Stone was on the bass, but interviews place Michael Anthony in the band as early as 1972, so it is unlikely. Another story says that when Michael Anthony joined the band, they handed him this tape and told him to learn the songs.
David Lee Roth plays guitar on “Angel Eyes”.
