For an explanation what this is all about, read this blog post. But click play on the below “video” first so that you can listen to it while you’re reading:
So, after two tapes of tracks from various compilations, and then one with limited edition singles and stuff, what’s on this one?
Heh, “master”.
Yes! This one has the complete 13 Year Itch CD…
… and then some other limited edition bits and pieces.
Which… doesn’t make for a very satisfying tape chain thing now does it? And indeed, the tape chain never actually happened, and I don’t think it would have happened even if the entire concept of “tape chains” hadn’t petered out by then (1995) — because this one seems a bit over the limit into “piracy”, I guess.
So I think I just assembled it because I was on a roll, but I didn’t mean it seriously.
And apparently I was also possibly thinking about putting together a RareThree tape, but that had gotten even less far in “production” — it’s just a cover and then the track list is the same as the Limitless tape.
(I have no specific recollection of any of this, so I’m just going by vibes…)
And… that’s it — no more tapes.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this meander down the paths of ancient pre-web music fandom.
