He recorded “Hi How are You” with a chord organ on a cassette deck 2-Track. He had no method to make multiple copies without recording his album word for word each time. Warped, manic, and obsessive, Daniel Johnston’s extensive catalog ranges from trivial to treasured. Absolutely worth checking out the documentary “The Devil and Daniel Johnston” 2006.
