What is The Siket Disc

The Siket Disc grew from material developed during the Bearsville Studio sessions for Story of a Ghost. Page edited and mastered the selections into this compilation, named for engineer Barry Siket.

"Those sessions we did when we recorded "The Siket Disc" yielded some of the material that ended up on [the 1998 album] "The Story of the Ghost." We put lyrics on top of "Roggae," "End of Session," "Meat," and "Ficus." About half the songs on the album were from that session. "The Siket Disc" was the things left over from that session that we didn't put lyrics on top of. ... It was never trying to be anything, so there was very little to dislike."
- Page, to Billboard, 12/21/02

"I didn't like it at first. I thought it was too weeded down and missing some of the coolest jams. It was 35 minutes from 50 or 100 hours or something. Then, one night on the bus, we started playing it and I really liked it, late at night. It fit the vibe perfectly and we started playing it on the tour bus on a regular basis. It's one of the only instances I can remember when we regularly played our own music. I grew to like it." - Mike, to Billboard, 12/21/02
