Recorded on a borrowed 8 track reel to reel, "The Soo Line Recordings" exemplifies the influential style of Eau Claire Wisconsin's Tatters during the winter of 1984-'85. These nine songs represent the catchy, yet thoughtful songwriting of Jeffrey T. Johnson (1963-2012), as well as Patrick Farnand's (1961-2007) creative drumming ability during the early days of Tatters (later known as Another Carnival). Other members of Tatters include bassist Dave Gleboff and Shane McMahon guitar.
