Rewind And Pause




Lonely Whistle Music has just released a compilation of music made by hometapers spanning the years 1981-1998. It's called Rewind And Pause, and it includes a track of mine called "It Must Be Hard" from my Pop Victrola cd. The track was recorded and overdubbed entirely on a dual cassette deck in mono in 1986. It sounds like shit, and it's a classic. Other artists include Don Campau, Ken Clinger, Big City Orchestra, Hal Magee, Dino Dimuro, R. Stevie Moore, Heather Perkins, Lord Litter, MJB, and many others.

If you are not familiar with the early years of the home taping underground, this is a very good palce to start. This is a beautiful and stunning 2-cdr compilation (and not just because I'm on it ;) ), and you can order a copy by going directly to the Lonely Whistle Music web site: http://lonelywhistle.tripod.com/lwcatalog/.
