Guide to Medium and Source
The codes in from of the colon in this column stand for the medium I have the recording on. Possibilities are An (analog cassette), CD (compact disc), DAT (DAT tape), or VHS (video). After the colon, the generation and original source (if known) are listed. For example, An: DAT master would mean I have a copy of an original DAT on cassette. CD: VHS master would mean I have a digitized copy of the original video recording on CD.

Interview Tapes:

WXPN Interviews
Contains several interviews from WXPN (Philidelphia). The 100 minute tape includes interviews from Fall 1997, 11/13/97, and 5/20/98. Great quality.

Champaign Tape
Contains several interviews taped in Champaign, IL. The 60+ minute tape includes interviews from NPR's All Things Considered (August 1998), the Acoustic Cafe (July 1998) and the Web 93.5 (4/11/97). Great quality.

Video Tapes:
Note: I do not have the capability to dub video tapes at the moment.

Tape 1
This has an assortment of stuff including all the Fruvous videos, an appearance on the Dini Petty show in Canada, an appearance on a Canadian Telethon, the First Annual Fruvous Convention, and a few other ditties. Quality ranges from good to okay.

Tape 2
This tape contains 'Eddie & the Crusiers II: Eddie Lives', a bad movie which Dave has a minor role in, an appearance on Mr. Jones on TVO, the Dini Petty show appearance, the convention, and an appearance on 'First Up'. I haven't watched it yet so I don't know about the quality.

Moxy Fr|vous Live Mix Tape (100 minutes)

Moxy Fr|vous Covers and Rarities (90 minutes)
This is a copy of a mix tape from I forget who. The quality is quite good on Side A but gets pretty bad on Side B. Perhaps I'll redo that side someday with my better quality recordings from the 12/7/97 show.
