Nutking Records has really scraped the bottom of the barrel for this one: A 13 minute 'For You the Tears' tour the force from 1980. It comes from the unreleased first Saint Vitus album, a C60 tape circulating among fans at the time. The band didn't have a record contract at the times it really was a bootleg recording by fans for fans. There were actually two versions: one from 1980 with just six songs: Kill Saint Vitus, Fire, Fuck School, I just want to see You go, Mamma and No More music. This cassette had two identical sides. The 1981 version, a much rarer find, had On My way and For You the Tears (as per this video) on the B-side. The Playlist

Nutking Records has released a playlist of the bootleg album, basically the 1981 version with an instrumental version of 'Why' in place of 'Fire' possibly because the latter was a bootlegged cover and Nutking didn't bother to legalise it. Tagged on the end is a very early version of 'Take That Bridge'. The song appeared only as early as on the second official album bearing the same title.
