Second Pressing (original First Pressing is now completely sold out) of Phish's The White Tape on 180g White Vinyl. This LP is clearly marked as a second pressing and has a different UPC code and a different catalog # as not to confuse with the original Pressing that was a JEMP Records Store / RSD exclusive.
Soon after forming the band, "Phish" (aka The White Tape) was created from four-track recordings which the band and band members mixed, dubbed and circulated as a demo. It consists of an assortment of four-track recordings from 1984-1985 including four songs recorded by all the existing members of Phish as a band: Alumni Blues, AC/DC Bag, Slave To The Traffic Light and Dog Gone Dog (a/k/a Dog Log). The balance was recorded separately by the band members and blended together from 4-track cassettes to create the album as we know it. Trey has said The White Tape exemplifies, perhaps more than any other studio effort, the band's unbridled creative freedom of the day.
The White Tape highlights Phish's early development with ethereal sound- scapes and interesting sketches on Phish's classics-to-be such as an acoustic The Divided Sky as it existed then and even an acapella rendering of You Enjoy Myself. In 1998, The White Tape was re-mastered from the 2-track cassette master. The original art for the cassette demo was created by Trey himself and was updated for the CD release by artist Jim Pollock. A snapshot in time, The White Tape is a must-have for any fan and a perfect introduction to the band's studio work.
