so I just picked this up for $7 at a cool record store. Haven't heard much of it , it's super rare I believe, it said 'import' on the CD. . what do you guys think of it?

Sounds like a super-super old bootleg with a title like that (an old, incorrect name for 'Moonbeam Levels').

So, sorry to say, but the sound quality is probably pretty duff, and you'll be able to get everything for free in better quality these days.

That's not to say the songs themselves are rubbish - just the boot itself

Edit: This is it? http://www.angelfire.com/...DieCD.html

Some good 1999-era and Family out-takes on it, but nothing rare.

yes they do sound a bit fuzzy.

Not rare at all. Was everywhere until it got obsolete when much better versions of those tracks surfaced.

An useless purchase unless for the version of Moonbeam Levels which, despite the hissy sound, it's the only version which features the (much flawed) ending of the song, which was eliminated from all circulating versions due to the huge amount of hiss.

the piano at the end? it's on Work It 2.0

^No, it isn't.

Work It 2.0 features the faded 3:54 version.

The version on this old boot is 4:02.
