    Of the umpteen versions of "The Cathy Demos" floating around on
bootleg CDs, are any of them generated from the tapes which created the LP
versions, or are they all nth-generation re-recordings of scratchy ol'
LPs?  If I have to support a bootlegger, it might as well be one with a
sense of production standards.  Thanks.

Hi Steven,

  I have the "Home Demos" bootleg and it sounds quite good
considering...  it does have a couple of places where you'll
here an occasional "click" or "pop", but other than that,
it's fine.
 
  i doubt that you'll find a CD version that wasn't taken 
from an LP source.  In fact, some of the bootleg CDs were
mastered from other bootleg CDS which were mastered from
an LP which was mastered from an X generation cassette
tape.......

Don't get your hopes too high.

peace
