From The Mix Tape Archive, Volume 1

Okay, I threatened to do this a while ago. Back in high school and college, I made a whole series of mix tapes for my own edification and enjoyment. Keep in mind, this is all from a period between about 1988 and 1992, most of which was the height of my prog rock/fusion phase. In honor of my grandfather's career as a butcher, the series was called "Prime Cuts."
