It's not produced at all—it's a collection of bootleg recordings. And yes, there are a shocking number of copies out there for an album that was never officially released. (*wink*)

It depends what you like. Peavy's voice has changed through the years—it used to be much higher-pitched, but in the mid-'90s he began singing with a lower, somewhat Hetfield-esque timbre (to go with a somewhat darker musical style). If you like higher-pitched vocals, I'd recommend Secrets in a...

It seems very strange that the crowdfunding package includes lossy versions of stuff (instrumental, Tuska) that is widely available at retail in lossless quality.
