Followup to Articles for deletion/Live in Concert November 4th, 2001. While there once was a time when albums and EPs didn't need to show or source any notability claim besides "was released by a notable band", that's no longer the standard that applies today. They now need to be reliably sourced as passing WP:NALBUMS for something more than just existing -- but these are all self-released demos released either before or separately from their Sub Pop contract, and are all either entirely unsourced or are "sourced" only to discogs.com and/or glancing namechecks of their existence in overviews of the band's entire history. Which means that none of them is substantively the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear NALBUMS. The band's three studio albums are all repairable, so I won't be nominating those -- but these demo cassettes and EPs don't make the cut. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect. I generally agree that these releases are minor with limited distribution, and with few (if any) reliable sources that convey their importance. One possible exception is Peter (album), which was released on Sub Pop and had a wider distribution. However, I think a redirect is more appropriate, to either Eric's Trip or Eric's Trip discography. I should note that several of these cassettes are highly collectible, but this is related to their limited distribution. + m t  22:54, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
