Phish or Trey Anastasio or Trey and Tom Marshall or Bivouac???
4 track recording
circa early 1980's






Note: I recently was rummaging through some of my old dat tapes, and came across a tape
that had the Space Antelope recording, which has circulated decently, as well as "this"
recorded on it. I recall recently downloading a torrent that was labeled as an
"Early and Rare 1983 demo", and which started off with a Jam from 12.25.83, followed by
Slave, Antelope, and Hydrogen. Initially, I figured that whatever was on "this" dat that I
had labeled as "Bivoauc Jaun", and was recieved in a trade a bunch of years ago during
my hey day of recording and trading Phish shows on dat, was probably the same as the
bit torrent I downloaded. However, after giving it a listen, I realized that it wasn't
the exact 'same', but was 'similar', as it had the same Slave, Antelope, and Hydrogen that
were a part of that 'demo'. Additionally, though, it had a bunch of other rare material,
including early, partial renditions of The Divided Sky and Letter to Jimmy Page,
as well as a few other 'songs' or 'jams' that I could not identify. Now, considering I
recieved this in a trade from a phellow trader, there are certainly others out there that
must have copies of this. Needless to say, though, I have never seen this seeded in its
entirety. I suppose people may have refrained from circulating it under the assumption
that it wasn't worth it to do so, or that people may not want to hear it, as some of the
jams/songs are a bit obscure. However, as a phan who appreciates listening to these early
recordings and hearing where the band we all have grown to know and love came from, I am
of the opinion that there has to be some peeps out there that would also appreciate
hearing this. I mean, even if its just to give a listen to once, I think it is worth it to
just hear how wierd and funny it gets towards the end. So, in an effort to get this
circulating, I figured I would transfer and seed it in as complete a form that I believe
exists for all you who are phans of early and rare material. What I have included in this
text document I have done so to the best of my abilities and knowledge with information
included on my dat, as well as info obtain from "The Phish Companion" 'Discography Section'.
However, there are still a couple jams/songs that could not be identified due to a lack of
information, and for them I have filled in the blank as best as possible.

Enjoy!!!

Also, aside from adding some track markings, the integrity of the original recording (what
i have on dat) was kept in tact, and NO modifications or alterations were made in any way
after the original Remastering, which was not done by myself, and therefore I have no info
regarding what exactly was done. Overall, though, the recording sounds much better than you
might expect.

1. Dear Mrs. Reagan 2:00


This is one of the more obscure items I have had in my collection.
It was a filler on a tape I got from a Vermonter in the early to mid 1990's.
Maybe it was the White Tape, or Bivouac Jaun, I'm not sure. I used to look
for old and rare recordings back then. Back when rare meant rare and you
hand wrote tapes lists to send via snail mail. Some of you might not know t
hat music was traded on cassettes back then ;) I have never seen any info about this nor have I stumbled onto anyone else who has this little gem.
I decided to put it online for a couple reasons. I figured some people
might enjoy it for one. More inportantly I was hoping to find an upgrade
or prompt others to post some gems that are as rare as this. Some of you
might not have even ever heard this tune, or heard of it. It was played very
little in the very beginnings of Phishs career. This must be a four track
home recording. I also know there were different version recorded of the
same song.

So if you have any info PLEASE hit me up at cleantone hotmail
com to let me know. Keven? I would also appreciate an upgrade,
or maybe share some other very rare recordings with me. Thanks in
advance and enjoy!
