The material was recorded onto standard store-bought audio cassettes, and the liner notes were black and white photocopy. The tape went out of print not long after The Pink Album came out, but was rereleased in 1993 as a promotion by the Hello CD Of The Month Club. If subscribers added $5 to their subscription fee, they would receive a copy of the demo tape, which then had fancy-schmancy glossy liner notes and this message on the back: "Hello Recording Club, PO Box 551, Palisades, New York 10694 - 1 year subscription send $41 check or money order (NY residents add 8.25% sales tax) or call 1-800-HELLO-41 for credit cards - For an additional $5 receive this cassette - All proceeds from the sale of this cassette go to the People With Aids Coalition - All songs written by They Might Be Giants, published by They Might Be Giants Music ASCAP, administered by WB Music Corp. - ℗ & © 1985 They Might Be Giants Music. All Rights Reserved. HEL-T" Trivia/Info: * Hell Hotel was the only song from this tape that had not been reworked and/or released elsewhere until the 1983 demo version was released as part of Podcast 32A in 2008. It is the only song on the tape that has never been released on CD. It was rumored that the original tape had a different version of the song than the one on the Hello release, but this is not true. * Notice there are 23 tracks on this demo tape. The number 23 plays an important role for the band. The following is from the liner notes of Then: The Earlier Years, referring to the Boys' second show, the first under their present name: "In spite of a heavy snow storm, 23 supportive friends came out, and the show was a big success." * In Podcast 22A Cecil wrongly says that Weep Day appeared on this demo tape. ********************************************************************
