On March 26, 1981, Jahn/Siefkas went into the studio to record some of their original material. The sessions lasted three days. As their studio time ran out, they had only completed two songs, To Talk To and Taking Away, both penned by Jahn. Three other songs were never completed, only the rhythm tracks were recorded. When they left Broken Prairie Studios, in the heartland of Illinois, just outside of Champaign-Urbana, all they had were a couple cassette tapes, with some rough mixes. The plan was to return to the studio and complete all the songs, and end up with a finished EP. That was not to happen. Unfortunately, all that survived those three days of music the cassettes.

Recently, Siefkas, using Pro Tools, digitized the tapes. We are now able to bring you the lost tapes from The Broken Prairie Sessions.
