Years back I bought a 2x60min tape called "CB, The Home Recordings 1969-1970", released by "Bukaroo". I always loved the whole 2 hours of it and was, I guess, slightly disappointed to see my 2 cassettes later released on CD as:
"70 min in Hell" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004R7JZ/?tag=charlebukowsa-20 and
"King of Poets" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000G1W9/?tag=charlebukowsa-20
Now, I thought my "69 recording is missing 10min of material because of limitations inherent to the medium, but now I've noticed that in addition to missing some poems, I seem to have 3 poems on my tape that are not on the CD:
"Black Scrawl"
"A Report upon..."
"I was Born to Hustle..."
Would anyone be able to answer these 2 questions:
-is there more than 70 min "of hell" somewhere out there? All of the above CD release PLUS the 3 extra poems on my tape?
-what's "Black Scrawl"? It's not listed in the bukowski.net database. Is the title wrong on my tape, the first line is "And I will send you a great big letter with a black scrawl at the bottom"?
Thanks.
