rehearsal tapes
Pre-performance captured sessions
Rehearsal tapes are recordings made during practice sessions, typically by musicians or performers working through material before formal recording or performance.
The term evokes a raw, unpolished quality—capturing works in progress rather than finished products.
Rehearsal tapes sometimes surface years later as historical curiosities or bonus material: The box set includes rehearsal tapes from the 1971 sessions.
