	I doubt that Ill see a copy of this around here. And I agree with those above. Tommy did so much in so little time.

	I own literally 50 CD's from this guy from the TB Archives, and I am sure I will piss more money on more outtakes from the Teaser album. I must have 10 different demo versions of the song The Grind but since I am a TB fanatic I guess this'll make version # 11. Long Live Tommy Bolin

	Not as good as Blackmore but then few are. No denying he was a fine talent though. His work on Teaser and Come Taste The Band was superb.
