Early Miscellaneous by Mike Daly's Lost N' Found
Mike Daly’s Lost N’ Found is a series of recently unearthed recordings by the front man for Every Damn Day and Mike Daly & The Planets. The songs, which date back as far as 1980, had all but been abandoned in favor of newer material that became the foundation of EDD’s repertoire in the early 1990s. They’ve now been spruced up using new technology and nursed to completion in 2024/2025 by mixmaster Jim Van Sickle, along with some of Daly’s favorite collaborators: John Reynolds, Chris Opperman and Ray Nissen.
