Question MCIS Demos I

Where did this first batch of demos come from? Was this another one of BC's tapes? If so, do we know what the tape looks like?
According to spfc.org, these demos first appeared in 1996.
  1. Lily (My One and Only)
  2. To Forgive
  3. Bullet with Butterfly Wings
  4. Here Is No Why
  5. Galapogos
  6. Frantic Ab Groove
  7. Autumn Nocturne
  8. Blank
  9. Rotten Apples
  10. Ugly
  11. Wishing You Were Real
  12. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
  13. Meladori Magpie
  14. Thirty-three
  15. Beautiful (Ropey Lopey - instrumental)
  16. Marquis in Spades

Are all circulating sources coming from that bootleg cd "Billy's Home Demos" (Plum Classics), or are there other sources available, maybe straight off the original tape? Or is the bootleg cd is the only known source?
"Billy's Home Demos" and "MCIS Demos I" have identical tracklists.

I've found an old set of shn files, and even though a tape is mentioned, these are very likely to also have come from the bootleg cd, but with a bit of a detour.
This is what the text file says:

Sorry but I do not have the full lineage for this copy of the demos.
I presume they are sourced from the original tape to CD. My copy came from a trade years ago and I was not good about collecting source info back then. (This is likely a copy of the bootleg CD "Billy's Home Demos".)
I ripped my disc using EAC with proper offset correction to preserve whatever quality remains. The tracks are named according to the CDDB service that EAC uses as I was too lazy to rename the tracks properly.

Does anyone own an original "Billy's Home Demos" cd? Any chance we could get a decent EAC rip of this cd (100% log)?
I can find a couple of rips online, but they all have issues and/or have some tracks missing.
Unless a source closer to the hypothetical tape exists, a decent rip straight off the bootleg cd seems to be the best source we can get at this point.

On a sidenote, there's a second bootleg cd, "Mellon Collie Demos" (Moonraker), that contains only 12 of the "MCIS Demos I" tracks, plus an interview.
Do you think this bootleg cd shares its source with "Billy's Home Demos"? Or is one of the two bootlegs considerably better, qualitywise?
