The Rainy Daze acetates

Very excited to add these to my Colorado collection.
5 - 10" acetates from the Denver band, The Rainy Daze.
Uni - Rainy Daze - "Stop Sign" 1st Version / "Stop Sign" 2nd Version
Uni - Rainy Daze - Blood of Oblivion / Two Heads Are Better Than One
Eldorado Studio - Rainy Daze (uncredited) - My Door Is Always Open / Make Me Laugh
Eldorado Studio - Rainy Daze (uncredited) - #1 / #2

Some of these are alternate takes; some are instrumental backing tracks without vocals; and some are the released versions.

Well, just a nice surprise from a friend in the mail today.... So not a lot of effort (grin).

Brilliant finds, I for one would love to hear the alternate versions. Dave Diamond told me he had a lot of early demos from when the group were still based in Colorado, but since Diamond passed away last year I guess they won't see the light of day. I penned a lengthy article on Carter and Gilbert and the Rainy Daze for Ugly Things a while back. I'm assuming those Eldorado Studio discs are from the time they were signed to White Whale.

Is that Rainy Daze CD still supposed to come out, Gray?

I haven't heard anything about it since, Mike, would love to see it get a decent reissue.
