  1. Demonstration Tapes wasn't exactly readily available in the late '90's, nor is it now, but otherwise I think she's spot on about everything.

    I met Tobi in 2006 and she's as amazing as you'd hope! :-)

  2. well, Demonstration Taps was reissued on CD by Royal Mint in the mid-90's, I was in England a lot from 96-'00 and saw it in stores often...so I guess it depends...but actually I didn't say that it was readily available, just that it had been reissued on CD. before this I had a cassette tape of Demonstration Tapes and I knew only one person who owned it on vinyl and had been looking for it for 10 years, so this was a big deal to see it released at all. I hope that it will see a proper reissue-the sound quality on both the CD and the vinyl is pretty bad--but the songs are great!

    thanks for linking to the aritcle by the way, this is a cool blog xo tobi
