Notes from @RHCPSessions :

The band rehearsed and recorded a session of demos in September of 1998 at Daniel Lanois and Mark Howard's El Teatro studio in Oxnard, California, an old converted Spanish language theatre. Many of these songs ended up, in their final versions, on Californication, released the next year. Two tracks from this recording have surfaced officially, both on the Around The World single; a demo version of Parallel Universe and a portion of a longer jam called Teatro Jam. The rest only surfaced via a leak in September of 2014.

The date of September 15, 1998 comes from the CD-R that held the recordings. There's a chance this is the date that the CD was compiled, not the date that the tracks were recorded.

About the instrumentalized: There are fifteen tracks that contained vocals, I managed to run them on the latest Roformer Model (from 2024) making it a decent job. The full Teatro Session is available in the channel, or in this link:
