TheAlphaNerd Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I found this recently on what... so I decided to share! Enjoy the holiday season all! (And I may just have another rare bootleg for all ya'l a little later in the month)Christmas Gift from Trey, December 1985Trey's 4 Track ProjectDecember 1985Source: Master > cass > cassTransfer: Cass2 > HHB > CDR > Flac01.

(?) I have conflicting info.*Daubs plays percussion on DivSky*THE DUDE OF LIFE on Tracks 11-12.I was generously given this music on a 90 min Maxell XL2S tape by a friend of Trey's, who (among many others) hadreceived the tape from Trey as a Christmas present a few days before Christmas in 1985. As this friend put it, muchof this tape "is the fruit of an entire semester of 4-track experiments by Trey . . . I remember him doing overdubs of all4 vocal parts on YEM, and using the pitch control knob to vary the harmony."Trey's "4 Track Project" is profound. Most of it was recorded in Fall/Winter 1985, possibly on Mike's 4 track, but I am notsure. Trey is his own worst critic and he may reflect back upon this music and scoff (or perhaps worse), but his creativegenius, his humor, and his love of music brilliantly shine through in this material. Whatever he might think about his earlymusic, he created this tape out of love for his family and friends, and it shows.A few of these tracks appear on Bivouac Jaun, while other tracks (eg And So to Bed, YEM) appear on "The White Tape,"which I hope you purchase from Phish.com, http://www.phish.com/releases/detail.php?ID=26.It is possible that some of the versions on here are somewhat different from those on The White Tape and Jaun;I have not analyzed them closely. See pages 13-14 of The Phish Companion 2d edition for more information.The master cassette and my copy conclude with "A Last Surprise," i.e., 12/1/84 Skippy the Wondermouse > Fluffhead,featuring The Dude of Life. I debated whether to include it here, because it already circulates in low gen, it cuts on hereat the very end, and it is "just" filler. But it is what Trey put on here as filler, so here you go.Is this the longest .txt file for a torrent that is only of *one* disc ? (lol) Hope you appreciate this, in any event.Merry Christmas. Sonny.
