This is all great news. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the "untitled
instrumental" is the unfinished backing track to a song we know from other
Television/Verlaine recordings - not unlike the unfinished "Grip of Love" and
"Last Night" from the ADVENTURE sessions.

Less likely, but I wonder if "LJJ" will be the same recording that appeared in
1975, or is this a different (later) recording? Perhaps made during the MM
sessions?

The 10-minute version of "Ain't That Nothin" must be the "12-minute" version
Verlaine mentioned in the promo kit for ADVENTURE back in 1978. Good to see the
other tracks included - I'll be interested to see if the version of "Adventure"
they use is more 'finished' than the version on the I NEED A NEW ADVENTURE
bootleg. Since that boot is just working tapes, it's possible.

Karl, thanks SO much for posting this (my ICE hasn't shown up yet)!
