Ellensburg - Where Cows Live

Lenin Comps 8 Cassette, released 1988
Contains the Screaming Trees song "Higher Ground"

I only know about this one because of Gary Lee Conner posting about it on social media. This was a local Ellensburg, WA cassette comp and super-early Screaming Trees track. I'm not sure when it was recorded - there is video of Gary Lee Conner performing it solo from 1985, but this cassette did not come out until 1988. I had never even seen a picture of it before a reader reached out to me. It took a long time to track down. Needless to say, the cassette is really scarce. The value below is a guess at the market demand - I paid more. But now you can listen to this supremely rare Screaming Trees track because I am a benevolent dictator-collector (collectator?).
