Well, it was three albums on vinyl, IIRC. It was just a boot that was circulating, but someone packaged it and gave it a name and included some Stevie photos on the covers. The photos we've all seen before, in fact I think they were mostly 'Belladonna' era- but I think there was also a still photo of WH era Stevie on the carousel pony from IAF.

It was a hodge-podge of different tracks, let's see if I can remember some of them, but this is not all:

'Silver Springs' piano demo
'Silver Springs' live (labeled Kansas City '77)
'Mistaken Love' piano demo
'Crying In The Night' (electric version)
'Rhiannon' piano demo (for the 'Rhiannon' proposed movie, and not the original demo for the White FM album)
'Castaway' demo
'Violet And Blue' (outtake?)
'Forest Of The Black Roses'
'Rhiannon' piano demo (another one)
'If You Ever Did Believe' (outtake? sounds more complete than a demo)
'Smile At You' (I think. My memory is starting to fail me now. If it is on the set, it wasn't the 'angry' version)

I can't remember what else. There were a few more, for sure. Tsk tsk. Anyway, I was at a used record store on Bleecker Street in The Village (here in NYC) oh around '87, and this is where I found the first two albums. The last one I found at a used record/memorabilia swap meet which is where I also used to buy my bootleg stuff. There was no internet back then, so at least for me, the swap meets were great places to find cassettes of rare and unusual Stevie/FM stuff.
