Notes on The Sylvia Massy Outtakes:
In November 2020, Sylvia Massy, the recording engineer for Tool on both Opiate and Undertow, offered a bunch of old memorabilia of Tool for sale on her website with a solid focus seemingly on audio cassettes, DATs and even reel-to-reel consisting of studio outtakes. These items were not remotely cheap as in thousands and thousands of dollars. Unsurprisingly, her store quickly sold out of most everything rather quickly. Unsure of the legality of selling something like that but she did have a note specifying that the only thing for sale were the physical tapes and not the information contained on them. To be clear and without a shadow of a doubt: Sylvia Massy has transfers of every single thing she sold but it is also true that there is no incentive for her to release anything pertaining to Tool in the short or long term.

Notes: This is a rather odd piece of memorabilia. It is, literally, Sylvia Massy walking around with MJK of Tool and Dean, the photographer for Undertow, recording different sounds including wind, television, traffic, speech and an entirely disgusting capture of Dean’s throat. This DAT was bought ‘unheard’ and was bought for $500 from Massy. Yeah. Was it worth it? No, no it was not. Enjoy the MP3 samples in all of their glory.
