Absolutely love that tape!

Oranges & Lemons

Love the color of this shell!

That's awesome.

Elton John Greatest Hits

SOS043 freshly delivered

After many months in transit, I finally received these two Arvo Part cassettes direct from the label, ECM. I love ECM in general and they have cemented themselves as one of my top three jazz labels over the years. They also have had a long running classical sublabel called ECM New Series. There are many amazing releases on this imprint in my opinion, but perhaps my favorite composer/performer is Arvo Part. So when I saw that ECM had turned up some deadstock of these deluxe cassette editions from the 80's and were selling them for their original list price, I leapt. Do I already have these on wax? Yes. Do I need these? No. Am I going to enjoy the hell out of opening and playing them tonight? Bet the house on it.

Never heard of those, going to investigate...

Largely minimal, mostly chant and choral based, neo-classical and religious compositions as methods to achieve pseudo-mystic levels of musical enlightenment.

@Mateo - I remember the first time I heard Lamentate, the street, the weather, such a magical piece of music.

Hell yes, JM. Hell yes. It's transformative shit.

The power of tape compels you!!


:D

That Blue Velvet tape is awesome!

That's the OG, baby. I used to have one of those once upon a time.

fun fact I just opened the tape today. I bought it last year from a local record store sealed for 4$ and forgot about it til today.

Big tape dump. I've had a lot of tapes arrive over the last month or so and finally decided to post them.

We'll start with a grail of mine that I had just assumed I would never own. The original run costs over $300, which for a cassette is just an insane amount of money. I would never pay that and so to discover they were doing a new run just filled me with joy. I love this cassette.

Haruomi Hosono - Hana ni Mizu (Watering a Flower)




Ohbliv - Give Thanks

A great little beat tape.



Burial Grid - We've Come For Your Flesh

Love the artwork and the oldschool cassette art layout that you saw a lot in the 80's and early 90's.




Dream Division - Death Walks On Nitrate

An incredibly short cassette (not happy I paid $24 for 15 minutes of music) but what's on here is good.




God Hand - OST

This is a goofy release, I can't believe some one made this but I bought it and there's some fun stuff on here. I love the IGN review score included on the front cover.




And finally the two newest Spun releases both of which are very good. I need to give them another listen though as I've just had too much coming in lately that I can't keep up. Love the look of the frosted tape though so fitting.

Lovely haul, Inks. Especially that Hosono. I've sold a few tapes in that $300 range over the years and I was amazed every darn time. What a nutty number.

Curious if you remember, what tapes did you sell that some one actually paid hundreds of dollars for?

I definitely do remember. It was all vapor.

Just got both of these today.

That makes sense. low run oop vapor releases always sell for crazy amounts.
