This photo was just posted to the Vintage Kingston Facebook group.

It's of "The Filters!" Featuring Finny McConnell, Gord Downie, Rob Baker, Kelly Campbell and Mauro Sepe. At the Lakeview manor; as I recall this would be about 1984 (thanks Finny/Mahones))

On their Facebook page, Finny has mentioned that he's transferring the tapes to share...

wow cool. I've been reading through the posts on that facebook page - looks like they're starting digitising next weekend using Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck which is about the best possible situation you could hope for. Those decks sell for $2,000-$3,000 on ebay

I find it interesting that a lot of the covers on that tape made their way onto the setlists during the World Container tour.
