Anyone have any info about where they came from and how many tapes existed? Do we know who received the first copies of the cassette tapes and perhaps who leaked them? I have included the information I can remember from that time period (hopefully it's accurate).

I believe there were originally 3 cassette tapes. Each tape varied in quality and pitch. Each tape contained different songs and some of the songs were cut off. For instance, the cassette I obtained contains cut versions of All Original and 7th Sign since they're the last song on each side of the tape. I believe the POD pre-release came out around the same time but it was from another source; hence, the substantial quality difference.
