Notes:

John Murphy: “Kim had made a tape with her sister. She used the equipment she had, which wasn’t much, electric drums, stuff like that. She had an eight-track, so she hired somebody to help her produce it, and then she sent it around, and that was actually the first publicly distributed Breeders tape. She recorded it in Dayton and produced it in Massachusetts, and she sent it out to all the radio stations just like a regular person would do, and nobody picked up on it at all. She didn’t give it much time, but she figured, well, I’m not going to make it on my own, I don’t know anybody, so she started looking at ads. And that’s when she saw the famous Phoenix ad. I remember her pointing it out to me afterwards.“

Kim moved to Boston in January of 1985 and was in the Pixies by March. Given that this demo was recorded in Dayton, it was likely recorded before the move, placing this in early January of 1985 or late 1984.
