GUEST,Lin Mary Chapin Carpenter rare early tapes (6) Mary Chapin Carpenter rare early tapes 27 Mar 20

I have been a long time fan of Mary Chapin Carpenter.
I was looking on Wikipedia to see if there were any rare recordings that were made (before) her debut 1987 studio release album, "Hometown Girl."

It said that she was signed to Columbia in 1987 after a demo tape was sent in.
There was no mention of what songs were on the "demo tape" though.

I don't know if the demo tape might have included some songs
that were put on the "Home Town Girl" album or if they were all songs never actually released on an album?

I would be curious if anyone knows of rare recordings that were a
home-made type tape sold at coffeehouses before Mary Chapin Carpenter
got signed to Columbia Records
I know back in the early and mid -1980's, a lot of artist's starting out would often sell self made tapes at coffeehouses. Not too many went on to become famous or have the tremendous talent of MCC.


Thank you,
Lin
