Well as you can obviously see, this is my Reel Big Fish Tape Trading Page. Now I admit, I don't have a lot of stuff. But that's the reason I put up this page, TO GET MORE TAPES!!. So sit back and take a look at what I've got. I also collect tapes of other bands, so check out my general taping trading page at this address,https://www.angelfire.com/ca/nonews.
Tape Grading
A+= VERY good
A= Very good, maybe
a little crowd noise.
A- / B+= Good, but
not as good as an A grade/ Better than a B. Sound maybe tinny, or
pretty hissy.
B= Good. A little
muffled, or noisy.
C= Satisfactory. Bad
audio on master, extremely generated, noise over powers music.
D= Pure shight!!.
For the fan that must have everything.
I DON'T want anything this shitty.

!!ALL I WANT IS MORE REEL BIG FISH STUFF!!
Basically here's what I want in terms of Reel Big Fish tapes. Any decent quality live recordings (The quality should be more than "listenable"), demos, radio interviews, TV appearances, radio preformances (ie. KROC christmas show), cover songs, etc.. But what I really, really want is the following.
Any Canadian shows (especially November 11th, 1998 Toronto, ON, I couldn't go because it was a school night)
KROC Christmas Special. I Think this was an acoustic set, but then again I read it on the internet.
"Everything Sucks". Not the song, but the band's first album. I saw pirated copies of this for sale on a web site, but selling bootlegs is wrong.
How To Trade With Me & My Trading Rules
1. Send me a happy little e-mail telling me what you want and what you have or where your trade list is located. Send your inquires to this handy dandy address slipperband@hotmail.com .
2. If I like something that you have, I'll tell you. If it's anything by Reel Big Fish that I don't have, 9 to of 10 times I'll say "sure, why not". But if all you have is something like a Real Audio concert that I can get just by patching my tape recorder to my computer I'll say "No, that's okay. You don't have anything I want". But if you have tapes of other bands I like I'll see what I can do : ).
MY RULES
1. Use only Maxell XL II High Bias cassettes for audio and Maxell GX-Silver cassettes for video.
2. Send me my tapes in a bubble padded mailer, or wrapped in bubble wrap. I will do the same
3. Provide refrences of three people you've traded with or send me my tapes first. I'm not gonna rip you off because personally, I HATE being ripped off.
Will you be going to see Reel Big Fish anytime soon?. Why not tape it!!. I know of people who has taped many RBF shows (the guy has pictures of him with the band so I think he's a friend of the band), but I don't think the band allows it. But if you still wanna tape the show, click on this link ------> !! CLICK ME !!
