This is like maximum 80's cringe... I say that as a child of the 80's... I'm half tempted to cut this up and try and build some sort of vaporwave track. Seems tailor made for vaporwave.
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.
