Wondermints Live in Studio

WONDERMINTS - LIVE AT THE REHEARSAL ROOM (1995)

 
Under the guidance of Chris Carter things go much faster for Wondermints. They get more and more known in the underground scene of L.A. and they even get a chance to record a demo for Epic Records in 1995. Unfortunately, the demo leads to no deal. Record-companies are reluctant in signing Wondermints. They don't really know what to do with the band. They agree that Wondermints' music sounds terrific, but they don't know how to pigeon hole it, since the band's music sounds different from all the other music that is being put on the music-market in 1995.
 
Special note: The six cover versions featured here are quite different and of much better quality from the ones available on the "Mintsmania" unofficial CD  PPA custom artwork included.

Thanks for all the Wondermints stuff -- some thing I didn't have and was great to finally get!
