Notes (from Bootlegger):

Raw demos for the unreleased "Gift of Screws" solo album, c. 1995

These tracks are mostly very raw versions of songs Lindsey intended for his solo album "Gift of Screws."

Some were never brought to completion, some were brought to completion with Fleetwood Mac, and some were brought to completion only to sit on a shelf until Lindsey decides to officially release "Gift of Screws." The track names are from the original source, as is the volume division, although they'd probably all fit on one disc. I can't give information on the source, but these songs do check out as lossless on EAC spectral anaylsis. Only Bootleg for this is you are a Lindsey fan interested in his recording process, or if you want to hear the rarer songs. The demos are so raw that for some he just strums and mumbles, ending abruptly. Also, there are sound glitches. "My Little Demon - Track" is cut. The only tracks that are in complete form are "Deep Dense - Track" and "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind" on Vol. 1 and "Down on Rodeo - Track" on Vol. 2.
