These are remastered from the original cassette albums PDPx1, PDPx2, PDPx3, PDPx4, & PDPx5.
The Cassette albums we recorded in Frank's bedroom & Rendezvous Recording in Honolulu, and some on the road during PDP's street busking tour of the continent, 1984-87.
They were originally sold on consignment in local record stores in Honolulu and California, and on the street while busking.
These cassette albums caught the attention of the Los Angeles based recording label, Texas Hotel Records, and on the basis of these recording, Frank Orrall was signed to record for Texas Hotel Records.
Most of these songs were re-recorded for vinyl / CD at Arlyn Studio in Austin Texas in 1988/91, those recordings were distributed by Sony/CBS, worldwide.
These were previously released in an un mastered form, and in the context of the cassette albums. This is a re-mastered, curated release.
