mudkip3ds EDIT 11/5/2018: Errors are now fixed. Thanks!

10/25: Thank you for finally making this single digitally available to download, 20 years (!) after you first released it. It's amazing to hear Alice Cooper's first recorded tracks before he became famous.

Just want to point out some errors, though. Unfortunately it seems the starts of most tracks are cut off, most noticeable when shuffling.

Could you please fix this if possible? Would hate for it to remain this way, especially the first track. Favorite track: Why Don't You Love Me.

about

The Spiders crawled into the studio in the autumn of 1965 to cut an original, “Why Don’t You Love Me,” for the Mascot label, where the single was pressed, as usual, in a run of 500. By early 1966, the Spiders slithered into Tucson’s Copper State Studios as Forster Cayce twiddled the knobs for their second single. Featured here is a previously unheard WILD version of the fuzz rave-up “Don’t Blow Your Mind,” plus an unissued instrumental take of “Why Don’t You Love Me.”
An original copy of either single is impossible to find today at any price, all because of the band’s next transformation: to the genre and gender-splicing Alice Cooper.
