Not a Salad Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I went to a garage sale the other day, and I came across a cassette labelled "Green Day 89" being sold for $2.99, so I did what anyone else would do, and bought it. Turns out, it's at least a bootleg of an early demo tape of what I believe to be 39/Smooth. It didn't come with any track list, so this is what I know is on the tape (All tracks are demos, none sound identical to their studio counterparts). A1 - Don't Leave Me A2 - Paper Lanterns A3 - Disappearing Boy A4 - At the Library A5 - World Vs. World B1 - Why Do you Want Him? B2 - Jennifer B3 - Maybe Forever B4 - ??? (Instrumental Track) Can someone provide me any background history? I 'd like to know more about the origin of this cassette. Edit- This is the Disappearing Boy demo.

There is nothing known about any Green Day demo tapes from 89. It may just be live tracks tho. Upload so we can find out!
Clean Cut Asshole Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah, the best thing to do would be upload it for Todd, he's the greatest with this kinda thing! lol
21guns&novacaine Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 This is really cool! Sadly, I have no info to contribute to it, but if you find out anything, that's awesome! And especially cool that you picked it up at a garage sale when it's likely a copy could be going on eBay for hundreds right now. That'd be a good place to look for other copies and get an idea on value and rarity. Good luck man!
Todd Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 is it the one with this picture? That was fake and had a different tracklist. This one seems like it was just a tape with a label. And it has Paper Lanterns and Why Do You Want Him, which weren't played on KALX

Todd Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 yeah it's just the only one I know of with a picture. I won't believe this until I hear it Same.
ghesboro Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Now this sounds really cool! And yeah, I think the best way to find out what it really is would be to upload it so different people can express their opinion about it.

ghesboro Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Opinion? We're trying to find facts! Yeah I probably worded it wrong I meant that if we have different people listening to it, maybe at least one of them will know/find out what the heck that tape is, so the more people listen to it, the better.
jakdokinori Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Interesting! Really hope something comes of this. Not holding my breath though.
