alright... im a little lost on the whole situation... like how the tapes are gonna be given out and to who will be able to get them.. i'm sorry if this is already been stated lol but theres a bunch of pages to read thru and i just kinda get lost in all of it lol.  so if someone could just lay down the facts about that, that'd be lovely. thannnnnks. cuz i would definately like a copy and i wanna know what i need to do in order to be someone who gets one.

ok, the way i understand it is that if you sent Tricia money initially, she will be sending you a CD of the demos directly.  If you did not send her money, you have a few options.  Andrew has graciously volunteered up a tape tree, wheather it's b&p or branch funded has yet to be decided I believe.  If you have any questions about that, check out the stickied thread above.  Or you can wait and see what is put up on Kazaa or other music sharing site (winmx, blubster, chose your poison).  I hope that cleard it up!

how did i miss the sending her money initially thing, seriously where the hell am i when all this goes on? lol.. cuz i sure as hell would have done it if i knew... god *hits self*

oh well i suppose, i guess if i can get it from Andrew, that'd be wonderful and if i don't... i'll live  i'm mad at myself for being so outta the loop.

but thanks for the info nikki

I found a recording that is apparently a Vanessa Carlton demo tape from 2000, [it's currently available on alt.binaries.shn for those of you who know how to use newsgroups]. It sounds authentic, so is it?

Here is the .nfo file that came packed with it:

alt.binaries.music.shn is that what you mean?  cause I can't find a alt.binaries.shn

[Grakthis]

?!?

Seems authentic.

Someone explain to me how the demo tape got ripped to SHN already? and then posted somewhere in that format?

Katia?  You or you friend with the audio equip?  Looks like the work of someone very familiar with the tape and audio trading sceene.

I'm not mad... cause I obviously want it distributed widely.... I am just curious why it was posted out to a newsgroup instead of keeping distribution in house, especially before I even got my copy to start the "official" distribution process.

[nessamoron]

has something to do with this... I mean I could be wrong but i know she is a fan of the shn format.

*edit*

Wow this came out pretty good quality! I got about half of them downloaded so far
