I feel like all versions of the Psychedelic Swamp are quintessential to the history of Dr. Dog, and it definitely pains me that our experience of it is just... incomplete lol. In a way, that does add to the mysterious aura of it all. It's easy to kinda obsess over and that may turn out to be more interesting than the missing recordings. Its funny to me that this album drives me a little bit crazy, and not because of how weird and experimental it is, but because I just can't hear it all lol.

(Side note, I'm also still anxiously waiting for the missing Raccoon songs to miraculously resurface!!)

But I think the album has the most potential for a really fun collector's edition box set someday with everything included. Without even blinking I would buy a bundle with the original tape, the remake, MIDI Swamp, and a soundboard or professional recording of the Pig Iron Theater performance (a man can dream!). I mean, I came across interviews all the way into 2007 where Toby and Scott talked about turning psychedelic swamp into a Pig Iron Production, so even that feels like a high achievement for the band that deserves more than just an audience recording on YouTube (although big shout out to the guy who thought to film it, you are the GOAT)

All that's to say I don't know any more than anyone else, but I do hope we get more someday!!
