Background

• A Few Old Tunes seems to be sourced from a cassette tape containing a (presumably) hand-selected set of pre-BoC Maxima tracks. The leaking of these tracks to p2p networks (Soulseek, originally) provided much drama on WATMM.
• Commonly referred to as A Few Old Tunes, due to its label; however, according the Twoism forum user dealer, who posted new photos of the cassette and liner notes, it is also the true Old Tunes Vol. 1 (and not the tape previously assumed to be OTV1).

Availability

• As of April 29th, 2009, YouTube user TEKM0SIS has leaked various tracks from A_Few_Old_Tunes and Old Tunes on his channel.

Cover

• According to KToiBalToi: "the girl on the cover of "a few old tunes" is Louise Campbell, the younger sister of (Peter) Iain Campbell who has worked with them on other art projects. I think it was taken as a still from an old family video."^[1]

Samples/Lyrics

• A sample from a porn movie in P:C:.
• Large chunks of the Colonel Abrams song "Trapped" in "Trapped (version)".
• A sample from an advertisement for a cleaning product in Devil.
• A sample from the British game show Blockbusters in the song of the same name.
• "The Way You Show" contains a loop sampled from "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang.
