Red Mosquito

just post the link here none of this is commercially available

No, Trag wants THAT PERSON to reach out and ASK HIM.

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into organizing this.

Really hope the vitalogy rough mix is available in FLAC soon.

Knocked it out of the park with this one Trag, thank you.

Thanks trag for putting this together and to all those who contributed!
It's been really awesome to be able to listen to these.

Thanks for the kind words all. None of this would exist without mfc17, mrgoose13, blueavocado, EGrover, and Dex.

Thanks to all involved. Good shit.

Even Flow Sessions 1.12.1992
Added 3. Even Flow.mp3 to Side A. This is an instrumental track. Jeff in particular is having a lot of fun, bouncing all around the neck.

Also got a couple collections of Vs and Vitalogy sessions that may correspond to something in the collection, but they are sourced from outside of Dave's garage, and seem to have been available on Soulseek for a while, so I'm holding off on sharing for now. But the one thing that jumped out at me from these tracks was this "Guitar Effect #2" track from the Vitalogy sessions. Can anybody connect the dots on where this may correspond to an "Instrumental" track from the cockage tapes?

Edit: Can't get the Vocaroo code to work for some reason, just follow the link.

that Guitar Effect #2 does not sound familiar and dont believe it corresponds to anything on the tapes....
if you upload those other sessions youve received, ill check them out and let you know if anything matches....

Shit never downloads and unzips for me.

The link never works

Notes:
The copy of Vitalogy Rough Mixes was handed down to a friend of someone at Epic and
obviously went through a number of analog generations. Some hiss was removed, and the
time was stretched to fix the timing of the songs, and improved the sound a bit.
Included just for arguments sake are the two songs off the More Nonsense boot cd for
comparison, obviously they are a little bit better quality, but the songs are the same. Track
15 was really loud and has a different sound to it (like it was put on the original tape to
be meant as the 'lead song' for the album), so the volume was adjusted.

There are a few pauses throughout the copy that couldn't be fixed (most are in Satan's
Bed). The pauses are in the same places as the various mp3's going around, and from the
looks of all the info I could find on these mixes is that these were originally on the tape.



Why July 1994?
* Final version of Better Man (original version was still played in 1994 tour)
* Satan's Bed presumed to be recorded in Atlanta (which was in April)
* Band was getting back together after Ticketmaster testimony to finish album (and after rest from tour)
* Most of Vitalogy recorded in November 1993 in New Orleans and February 1994 in Seattle
* Immortality premiered live, but drastically different lyrics
* Tape was probably given to label to show the album was almost done
* Dave A leaves the band in August
