"Jessica" on this 8-track is treated with a fade out/fade in over tracks 3 and 4.  It's pretty amazing how many hits and standard

Perhaps it was the annoying "rap" intro detailing their rise to being a signed entity.  Cute, but nothing you really ever want to hear again.  Unfortunately,

The standout is the George Harrison bootleg classic "Sour Milk
