Paul’s Boutique Deconstructed, Reconstituted
While doing a bit of cleanup today (ok, I’m procrastinating), I found this list. I put it together while listening to the archive of Inside Paul’s Boutique a while ago.
I wanted to know how many of the sample tracks I owned. As it turns out, not that many. However, there were quite a few that I wanted. So, I noted them here and forgot about the list. Now that I’ve rediscovered it, I’ll work on adding a few more of these to the library.
