"In 1982, a young Swede named Yngwie Malmsteen sent a demo tape to Mike Varney, who had a column in Guitar Player magazine and also owned a record label called Shrapnel Music. The rest, as they say, is history."
This is the demo tape Yngwie sent to Mike Varney for inclusion in his Guitar Player Magazine "Spotlight" column. He was 19 when he sent it, it appeared in the February 1983 issue.
This recording's source was my low generation cassette (Maxell XLII)... I captured it using a fairly crappy Roxio capture device, removed a layer of tape hiss with Audacity, and tracked it with CD WAV... At some point I may get a much nicer interface; and when that happens I may attempt to pull a better capure from my cassette... Meanwhile I haven't seen this on any trackers, please enjoy it for what it is :-)
My cassette was labeled like so:
Black Star
Now Your Ships Are Burned
Electric Duet
Plague in Lucifer's Mind
Far Beyond the Sun
Jammin' the Night Away
Merlin's Castle
Air
Soldier Without Faith
Improvised Solo
Dead Sun
All compositions, lyrics, and arrangements by
Y. Malmsteen
