VA - Meet Cafe tape (1984)

I can't believe it's been a year since I first started up this blog. Big thanks to Dan Walters for all his contributions, including this tape. Another cassette comp from the 80's, made up of mostly obscure (and weird) hardcore. The sound quality is kinda rough on a lot of the songs, but that's part of the charm. I think most of these tracks were unreleased, or maybe only previously available on demos.

TEN FEET TALL - Alive tape (1993)

I never saw these guys live, but I remember my old roommate playing the shit out of this tape back in the day. I got a copy a few years ago from their bass player Rob Hope when he was still working at Dutchman Tattoo.  

UPDATE August 29, 2019

I was never 100% happy with my original rip, so I was stoked when Rob recently hooked me up with a better copy of this tape (that also included a cover!).

2. Round Two
3. Onward
4. Not The Only One
5. Die By The Board
6. Alive / Winding Down
