After multiple yappings here about the constipation of wanting to release new music but not wanting to see a CD release die on arrival because CDs "dont sound good" according to the cognoscenti and even though we're on a small (very small) indie label, no stores will even stock CDs here anymore. Vinyl fascists snuff it all. And I'm not doing a run of 1,000 records and have over half of them sit in my basement. I'm not delusional about my draw or sales strength. Who is these days? But the current laugh is that somehow, tapes are now "punk" enough to be allowed to exist. Set aside the obvious inferior sonics; I've lost count of how many bands I see having high profile tape release shows. It does seem like the return on costs would be quick in a tape scenario but the gag is that I have 2 Onkyo cassette decks in storage and even if I did release a tape, they'd stay there.
So - any tape releases from TGPrs with experiences to share? Good dupe houses to check out ?
