[net.music] Springsteen demos?

WCGY-FM (93.7, Lawrence MA) is celebrating Bruce Springsteen's birthday all
week.  As part of their celebration, they are playing several unreleased
songs dating back to his original demo/audition tapes.  Anyone know where
they got these?  (They were somewhat evasive when I called.)  I assume they're
not commercially available - are they a "radio station only" promo product,
or an out-and-out bootleg?

There is a bootleg floating around called DEMOS. I have to assume that this
is where WCGY got the tracks from--hence why they were so evasive as to their
source.
