History:
This is the band's earliest known demo tape under the name "Blues
Traveler". They had previously been called "Blues Band", going 
through several guitarists (Levi Pervin, Dave Stern, Ted Irenas, Troy 
Straszheim) before Chan Kinchla joined, and bassists Sebastian Hill 
and Felicia Lewis before Bobby Sheehan joined. They then adopted the
name "Blues Traveler"

This demo was likely recorded sometime in late 1987, and features the
only known studio recordings of "What Do You Want From Me" (the first
song written by the band as a foursome), "Bad To The Bone" and "Wouldn't
It Make You Mad". The percussionist on track 2 is unidentified, though
it may simply be some overdubbed percussion performed by another band
member, as it was on the "Dropping Some NYC" demo the following year.
