Reviews

RH & the E's played 1st Ave in Minneapolis on 4/11. I got a traded cassette labelled 'Chestnut Cabaret '88' that I digitized and posted to Dime and someone there corrected me that it was actually the 1st Ave gig. I think that tape made the rounds with bad info and it made its way into the Asking Tree. I might have even got it from RH's A&R guy at A&M. I traded with him a bunch. He may well have got the board tape and mislabelled it on purpose to reduce the likelihood of tracing it back to him. I think the J card is in his handwriting.
