Before they were the Alice Cooper Group, they were The Spiders - a local band in Phoenix, Arizona that became one of the house bands at the most popular teen club in Phoenix - The VIP Club, owned and operated by Jack Curtis (RIP, February 2023).  In 1965, Curtis took the band into the studio (Floyd Ramsey's legendary Audio Recorders) to cut two sides -- cover songs "Why Don't You Love Me" and "Hitch Hike" -- for his Mascot record label.  In 1966, they cut one more track ("Don't Blow Your Mind") for Mascot before re-recording that same song in Tucson, AZ for a different label.  The original 45 release of the first two songs (Mascot #112) is a highly-sought after collectors' item now; and all 3 songs have been released on vinyl and CDs several times over the years.  However, the tracks on this release have never been released.  This release contains the entire (still-existing) recording sessions of all 3 songs; including false starts, alternative versions, studio chatter, etc.  This is an historic release of one of the world's most popular, influential and enduring rock artists.  This is not a bootleg - all material on this release has been legally licensed from Mascot Records.
