gobo's definitive TOURtoiseshell collection project

[gobo]

I'm sure everyone remembers the Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour. That musical act is now a sore spot on the dignity of the franchise, sure. But, since this should be a fairly simple collection to compile and edit together, I'm going fror it. Besides, that first album was 12 shades of badassity. Hopefully, Bob Bejan or some other representative of TOURtoiseshell will hear of my efforts and make something similar (but higher quality) to sell to all us Turtle-obsessors. If they do, I urge them to follow my specifications to the letter or risk poor sales. What I'm putting together isn't exactly something that I'm legally able to share. But... I can still rub everyone's noses in it. ^_^

NOTE: Tracks 1-10 are, of course, from the 'Coming Out Of Their Shells' audiocassette/album. Track 11 is from an official promo CD released in 1990. Tracks 12-14 are songs performed in concert that I don't see why they wouldn't exist as studio recordings (since France and other countries got studio versions of the backing track with their native language karaoked over it). Tracks 15-17 are the three original songs performed for the Gettin' Down In Your Town concert. When I unsealed that VHS for the first time, less than two years ago, I found a mail-in certificate for a four-track audiocassette. There were only four songs in the show, and I assume the tapes were studio recordings. Surely someone spent the time, money and effort to get one of these tapes. SO WHERE THE SHELL ARE THEY?!? I want one, dangit.
