Jewel - Beginnings

Does anybody know anything about this CD? Apparently it's an 'official' release although it looks like a bootleg to me.
"CD release from the official 1994 recording at the InnerChange Coffeehouse where Jewel Kilcher began her career. This CD will be released outside the US on various music store platforms."

It's two CDs with 23 tracks in total...
CD1
1000 Miles Away
Who Will Save Your Soul
I'm Sorry
Pa
Time Passes Quickly
Daddy
Hey Mister
I'm Tired and Lonely
Swedish
Raven
If You See
I'll Be Seeing You
CD2
Pieces of You
My Angel
Yodal Song
Rocker Girl
There's a Man On the Fron...
Never Mind
Communion
See Sassy Wake Up
Nicotine Lover
Painters
Poem

It looks like it will be available via TuneCore.com...
In 1994, Jewel entertained customers at the Innerchange CafĂ© in San Diego, California. These are the recordings from the beginning of Jewel’s career.

A number of these tracks have been heard on bootleg / lesser quality rips from previous recordings and live shows, but this is the first professional recording done of Jewel, ever.

The album contains 23 tracks total, including 21 previously unreleased tracks.

I don't know how legit this release is, but could you imagine if it were true!! The release date on the TuneCore page has already passed, but I haven't found it on TuneCore affiliate sites (iTunes, Amazon MP3, etc)

I found the cd on Vcast W/ Rhapsody so I guess it's legit but I don't see it anywhere else!! Not even Amazon. It's nuts.

I'm part of the team assigned to releasing (or attempting to release) this album for overseas distribution.

My team and I are under the instructions of the Innerchange owner, Nancy Porter.

This is not a bootleg, it's the first professional recording ever done of Jewel, done by the Innerchange, about a year before she signed with her label.

Hopefully we'll have all the details ironed out soon... hopefully. But first, we get to redo the CD ;)

Jewel has addressed this on her website;

"Oh! I guess some of you may have seen a bootleg CD circulating around called “Beginnings.” Since they were illegally posted by a third party and not authorized by me or any label I am signed to, they are no longer available for sale." http://www.jeweljk.com

It is NOT legit at all. This is quoted from Jeweljk.com, from Jewel, herself. You can go to her website and read it for yourself.

"Oh! I guess some of you may have seen a bootleg CD circulating around called “Beginnings.” Since they were illegally posted by a third party and not authorized by me or any label I am signed to, they are no longer available for sale. But, I still plan on releasing recordings from that era to my fans sometime in the future so stay tuned and my website www.jeweljk.com will have all the official new jewel music and news.I promise you guys will be the first to know when legit music is available!"
