LOL!
No, but I found them too, probably the same way you did - doing a
Google search. These guys look a little strong for an old man's taste.
(The old man being ME.)

No, my son has a band called the Basement Snakes, also and another guy
in the band came up with this from somewhere.
I figured the same thing you did - that he Googled this so when you
replied about the problems - I went searching for it.
Well then I finally texted my son and told him of the problems with it
and he said that someone actually created this as a present to the
band.
So I asked if all the scratches could be taken out and he said, sure.
In some places, I had to go to pixel-by-pixel painting, LOL, but
finally I got it to where it was about the best I could do without
going totally blind, Ha!
And then you and Simply Me jumped on it and gave me a perfect stitch
file from it.
Their band BTW plays '50s and '60s rock.
Much easier for a geezer to sleep thru.

Thanks again, Herb - You De Man!
