Note:

To the best of my knowledge Phish started recording what would become Junta in December 1987. This demo tape features live recordings from mid to late 1988. Junta was self-released on cassette in May of 1989. I'm deducing this demo tape was from the time between December 88 and May of 1989.

Minor print-through is audible in between songs. I opted to not remove or hide it but to leave it as it was. Side 1 appears to have been produced in reverse stereo (l+r swap). This was fixed for this file set. Please do not alter or re-master this full fidelity 24bit source. Definitely do not sell it!
