Cheap cassettes on the market...

Have you established a good reputation at HL and got some Sisters stuff to sell or trade with the community? Or are you searching for that elusive ultra rare live bootleg from 1988? Ever had a bad experience with a trader on Ebay? Let us all know here. Outdated threads will be purged over time.

Warning: Newcomers posting here first will be treated like spammers. At least have the courtesy to say hello in General Chat first...

I just love those tapes! <neo-luddite alert!> They sound great!
I believe every release of the Sisters (be it a single, album or compilation) from First & Last & Always up to A Slight Case of Overbombing was also released on cassette.

They're certainly not worth too much in terms of dollars & cents, but collectionwise they're pretty cool ;D

I don't collect tapes myself, but I believe in Russia they pop up regularly, sometimes including "interesting" artwork.

They are really lovely, but SO MUCH MONEY.

None the less, an excellent find for the right collecter.

Personally I would like to see more of the Russian BudKon flexis and Polish Postcards (Polpress? Tonpress?), of which I've seen a fair few by TSOM.

Cheers paul. Don't get the language, but hey. :lol:

I know on eBay a year or two ago I saw a Polish Postcard of a live version of KOHD. Looked pretty damn awesome. :)

None of the pre-Floodland singles came out on cassette; and Lucretia didn't come out as cassette in the UK - just the US.

WEA released compilation promo-tapes around the time of Floodland, two of the singles were on them - Dominion (3.46 version; promo no. 7) and Lucretia (4.13 version, promo no. 15).

Also... there are two different versions of the More UK tape release - i think the cassette cases are different - one is clear, the other is black.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Mine has only one version of More and YCBTO.

PS I've got 2 versions of This Corrosion - in a cardboard and in a plastic book-type case (sorry if I didn't explain myself well) - but not in a regular cassette-case. Do they exist?
I also have Lucretia cassette single in a cardboard sleeve. Anyone having it in a regular case?

About other Merciful Release official cassettes - I've got Gangwar's "Dios..." (MR 341C)
Unfortunately I don't have any other non-Sisters MR cassette (not even Gift :( ) - what else may exist?
