CommentThis is a compilation of several basement and studio demos from 1991, as well as two early live tracks. Thanks to Jake Vigliotti for added insight into these dates.

* This is a Dave solo basement recording from around 1-2/91. This is the only known recording of this song.

** This is a full band demo recorded in a basement around 2-3/91, before Boyd & Peter joined the band. This is the only known recording of I'll Back You Up with the entire band playing. The last few seconds of The Song That Jane Likes are cut off.

# Boyd was asked to sit in with the band's rehearsals in order to record a demo of Tripping Billies around 3-4/91. This is that demo. Boyd joined the band permanently about a year later.

$ The first three tracks of this demo are Dave solo, and the second two are with the full band (including Peter). This demo is probably from a studio around 12/91 or early '92. The end of Two Step seems to be cut off on this recording.

@ These are two Dave solo live tracks from late '90 or early '91, probably from Miller's. He mentions that he is playing alone, alluding to the possibility that a band will join him shortly. This was most likely recorded prior to a TR3 show for which Dave sat in.
