Rachel's Ani DiFranco Tape Trading Page

Hi there! I'm always looking for new trades, so just e-mail me if you're interested in trading. A few rules:

That said, here's my current list of recordings, in vaguely chronological order, with dates and sound quality grades where available. Go wild!

(NOTE: the boots marked with ** are on CD; those marked with * are on CD-R. The sound quality is excellent on the former; on the latter, some have gotten some scratches, so the sound quality is not so great anymore).
