It’s safe to say this might be one of the most significant and valuable pieces of LIMP BIZKIT memorabilia you will ever see, so let me give you context into what it is and where I got it…

I was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida in the 80's & 90's. Surfing and skateboarding meant you were probably into punk rock. I was. So, we went to shows all over Jax Beach, Arlington and Downtown Jacksonville. Venues like The Edge, Spike’s Doghouse and The Milk Bar.
Sam River’s (bassist) and I had mutual friends. Sam and Fred were in a band called Malachi Sage before Limp Bizkit. (Back in 1995 they went by Limp Biscut.) As Limp Bizkit started to form and do shows me, and my friends showed up to most if not all of them. Sam Rivers and I worked together at Chick-Fil-A in Regency Square Mall in Jacksonville Florida before the band exploded. Friends attended classes with John Otto’s mother who was teacher in Arlington at the time.

As the band was being formed in 1995 they would rehearse at their (then) manager Bobby’s house. I was lucky enough to be one of very few in attendance on more than one occasion. After one of these sessions Fred had a demo cassette recording of four tracks that him, Sam Rivers and John Otto were polishing. (Armpit, Phat Shit, Shove, Stereotype). This was before Wes Borland or DJ Lethal joined. I was given this cassette by Fred in 1995. This is the only one that I know of in existence. This is Fred’s script handwriting on the cassette. Yes, it still plays.

I graduated from Terry Parker High School in 1996. On their first studio album (Three Dollar Bill, Ya’ll) there is a track called INDIGO FLOW. At 1:33 on Indigo Flow Fred Durst thanks “Terry Parker”. This is in large part to me and my close friends making sure that everyone at our high school (Terry Parker) went to their shows. We knew something special was happening.

To say that this piece is rare is a wild understatement. This might be one of the most significant pieces of Limp Bizkit memorabilia you will ever find available ever. All of the above is verifiable if you dig deep enough and really know the history of this incredible band.

Included is the cassette and a thumb drive of a professional digital copy of the music on the tape. (There is a sample of Armpit here in the listing. See uploaded video on the listing) Best of luck and feel free to ask questions, because I can no doubt answer them.

***Tracks included on the tape are: Armpit, Phat Shit, Shove, Stereotype
