The Envelope Sessions
The Envelope Sessions is the second release from Ben Gibbard's solo project ¡All-Time Quarterback!. The tape was a limited release on Elsinor Records and is now out of print. Tracks from this tape were later taken and put together with the "¡All-Time Quarterback!" EP and re-released by Barsuk records on the ¡All-Time Quarterback! "album".
