New 180g Silver/White splatter vinyl pressing. 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.
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 release by artist Jim Pollock.

This album is super great and sounds even better on vinyl. My copy arrived in very nice packaging and has no excess surface noise and such. Really great pressing.

Lots of surface noise on my copy. A few tracks are unlistenable due to the pops and clicks throughout. My friend ordered a copy around the same time as I did, and his had surface noise as well. Expected a quality copy for my 1st Phish album :(

Trey gave my original White Tape in 1986. It's locked in a safe. Having this cool vinyl edition means the world to me. Way to go Dry goods. It sounds amazing!

This vinyl release of The White Tape might be the most unnecessary specimen of beauty that I own. The sound is crispy, the songs inspired and weird. Open the record, play it, experience it in all its glory.
