   Origin unknown.  Naming, tracking & info file compiled by Adam Fox fox_adam2000@yahoo.com
 Thanks to Mike O'Connor.

 Notes: (disc 1) These sessions spawned both the second demo tape Moon, and
 what is known as the Gish Basement Tape, a promotional cassette used for
 bookings and label solicitation in 1989 and 1990. A few others were
 officially released elsewhere:  I Am One and Not Worth Asking appeared on
 the Limited Potential 7"; Bye June was officially released on the Lull EP
 and was also included on Moon; Daughter was released on the Reflex Magazine
 flexi-disc and also included on Moon. Two versions of Honeyspider were
 recorded: a distorted, rocking version was released on the Tristessa 12" and
 a quieter, clean-toned version was put on Moon, and later on the Pisces
 Iscariot bonus 7". Just as well, two unreleased versions of Rhinoceros were
 recorded: an odd version with an organ solo played by Mark Ignoffo was put on
 Moon, and a version closer to the Gish album version was put on the Gish
 Basement Tape.

 This is a 21-song tape of this session, containing an edit of Honeyspider
 (minus the feedback ending), and a version of Daughter (with an additional
 minute and a half of feedback).

 (disc 2)  This session was booked to record live-only favorites such as
 Razor and I Am My End. Unfortunately Jimmy didn't show up and, since the
 studio time was prepaid, it morphed into an acoustic session. This was noted
 as a sloppy session with many false starts. D'Arcy was present but did not
 perform.

 Because this is a collection of demo recordings, and not a continuous live
 performance, track ordering may vary from other copies in circulation.

 Disc 1 is just over 75 minutes long, and requires higher capacity CDR media,
 or the last track can be carried over to the beginning of the second disc if
 you prefer.


Art Notes: Yes
