Recorded at home - no expensive studio space needed!

On June 7 this summer, I recorded a tape of my music, using a relatively uncomplicated system involving a stereo. Someone left a Mozart cassette at the house, so I recorded over that with Led Zep covers and a few of my own songs. The songs are as follows:

Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin)
Hey Hey What Can I Do (Led Zeppelin)
Sunshine Of Your Love (Cream)
Dazed and Confused (Led Zeppelin)
Black Dog (Led Zeppelin)
Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix)
Tangerine (Led Zeppelin)
Unskinny Bop (Poison)
Pinball Wizard (The Who)
Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin)
Can't You See (Marshall Tucker Band)
Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Queen)
The Star-Spangled Banner (F. Scott Key, better known in the Jimi Hendrix version)
Soul Stripper / Baby Please Don't Go (AC/DC)
Nothing To Say (an original)
The Ocean (Led Zeppelin)
Sunshine Of Your Love (Reprise)(Cream)

Obviously, it has not been released for public consumption yet, and mixing remains unfinished, but the mp3s should be posted somewhere by November.

I recorded this with my dad. The first four songs, as well as The Star-Spangled Banner, were his work. We are guitar players and this is purely a guitar album for now. No drummers, no auto tune, nothing but two guitars, one amp and years of self teaching.
