Absolutely, just e-mail me at themanosaur @ gmail . com (broken up to avoid spam robots) and we'll set something up.
I haven't given this version out to anybody yet and I feel it's fitting that I at least give it to somebody who wrote/recorded the songs.
I can't get ahold of Mike Shure (all the old numbers I have for Sunspot are disconnected and I can't find any new contact numbers so I doubt I'm going to post this. I'll give you a copy and let you decide what to do with it.)
If you makes you feel any better I'm sure Joel doesn't even know this re-mastered copy exists. --- end of previous message ---

Is there anyway I could get in touch with you. I'd love to have a copy of it... Since Joel and I no longer speak to one another I have no way of getting things that I believe I should. Considering I wrote every song on that album Joel shouldn't have any more of a say wether or not it is posted or given out.
It really excites me to hear these songs have been re-mastered considering recording really hurt us as a band. We never did it well. Wether it was money or time constraints, Paul's inability to play sober, Joels extreme adherence to what he thought sounded "punk" or my unrelenting anxiety in the studio never produced the sound or least the sound I had hoped for.
Please write me with contact information I would so appreciate it.
best,
tony uminn

I was good friends with Paul Wartella (quixote's first drummer) and was in a work-in-progress band with him (stay young, little one) post quixote that recorded at sunspot records. Mike Shure (owner of Sunspot) had the original DATs from the self-titled first release and remastered it to perfection.
It makes the original release sound like muffled garbage. Also it has a couple extra songs on it.
You'd have to talk to Joel Wick and likely Mike Shure to see if it would be ok to send this around but it is the best Quixote album hands down.
I believe I am one of 3 people that has a copy, Mike Shure, my friend John (also from sy,lo) and myself. Until now I have been 100% against giving it out but it is a piece of kalamazoo history.

Paul didn't pass away until until 2002 I believe. It wasn't as much an overdose as it was a stressed heart stopping beating. He was one of my best friends and probably, at times, my worst enemy.
We were in a band together (post-Quixote)and we recorded a song at Sunspot that was put on the Arborvitae Records comp. "Foreign Nationals".
Also I have one of the only copies of the remastered self-titled, it sounds better and has two more songs with Paul on drums. I'd consider posting it since Joel Wick stole my money in his split 7" debaucle. --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message ---
