We’re making it out of Cupertino with this one.

Wouldn't releasing an album during that time be quite risky because of the ongoing legal issues with Apple Corps[1]? In 1991 Apple legal was so paranoid that they even worried about the names of Mac OS system sounds[2].

This looks like something that was handed out at a WWDC or similar conference around that time, especially with the inclusion of the "Apple ][ Forever!" song. It was never for sale.

That said, I miss the Garamond era of Apple design and marketing. It brings back a lot of memories.
