MTX "THE WARRIORS OF ROCK" a.k.a. LK 106 / 106CD This is the 16 track 1" master of what was eventually released as The Mr T Experience ...and the Women Who Love Them. CD ep and the "Tapin' Up My Heart" 7". "The Warriors of Rock" was one of those jokey titles I've discussed before, though I have no recollection of that one. Fortunately, someone came back later and added "THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM" to it. That's how I know what it is: there are no track sheets, track lists or other documentation beyond this label. What I don't know is whether it includes the two acoustic songs "How'd the Date End?" and "Now that You Are Gone."

They may well have been recorded on this tape, but possibly not. (And if not, they were probably tacked on to the end of another tape, either one of ours or of some other band: they are not noted anywhere on the tapes in my archive.)

Also fortunately, it played okay and we were able to capture the audio. If there ever was an analog reel tape mix of this material it has disappeared, but I think it's likely that this stuff was mixed to DAT. I've written elsewhere of the trials and tribulations of this release (see the liner notes of the ...and the Women Who Love Them "Special Addition" compilation CD.) It was in many ways the lowest point me and my band had ever reached, and it captured a band, a label relationship, and a doctor in a state of multifarious disintegration. So demoralizing was the experience that I pretty much let it drop without listening to it for many months, expecting the worst and concentrating on the far-fetched project of trying to figure out something else to ...
