In 1991, shortly after they got Brad Wilk on drums, Los Angeles rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine released a self-titled demo tape that they would sell at there earliest of live concerts. It had 12 tracks, however only 7 tracks would appear on the bands eponymous 1992 debut album. The rest would either appear as B-Sides or not be rereleased at all. The origonally artwork had a picture of newspapers and had a match taped on to the cassette case. Record company Atlantic Records recieved a copy of the tape and produced a number of the tape with new artwork, a photo of a mans face. The band appears to not really care.
