Art Alexakis' pre-Everclear bands:

Lazy, Loud and Liquor'd Up
The San Francisco Alternative Country Compilation

ORIGINAL HAND-DONE PROMO COPY

This is one of less than 50(?) pre-release promo copies, hand-done by Art Alexakis and his then-wife Anita.
It is a different color then the final release and has the words, "Promotional Copy" clearly on the cassette and J-card.
Yes folks: Art's grubby little paws were all over this thing many years ago.  It might even still have his finger prints on it!

This is 100% real and not a fake.
I was in Colorfinger with Art and this is part of my personal collection.
Email me if you have questions.

LL&LU was produced and compiled by Art Alexakis (Everclear, Colorfinger) and Cammy Blackstone (now a radio DJ in S.F., CA).
It was released on Art's label Shindig Records in 1990.

This is a really great comp with lots of great San Francisco bands.
If I remember right, there were only 50 or less of these promos made so this is WAY rare
and is the only release featuring both of Art Alexakis' previous bands: Colorfinger and The Easy Hoes.

the left side of the insert was cut a little close so a bit of the words are gone
but it is still fully readable.
