I adore the Tellus cassettes. I remember when WFMU was getting them in the mail. The last few were actually produced as CDs. A little bit heartbraking.

@ Dean: Egg-zackly! Poiplish.....

I actually wouldn't mind in the least if all my cassettes magically got turned into (nicely mastered) CDs.

OK: So who recognizes the LP under today's cassettes? (Actually, it's a double 12".) Hint: It's by the only group ever to have worked with both Daevid Allen and Whitney Houston.

Dean:

Shakespeare never once mentions CDs, vinyl, or digital anything. But he does have Hamlet say this:

"Yea, from the table of my memory
I'll wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,
Unmix'd with baser matter. Yes, by heaven!"

And Jack Cade in Henry VI, Pt. II, says,

"I have thought upon it, it shall be so. Away, burn
all the records of the realm: my mouth shall be
the parliament of England."

@ Dean: Huh. I wonder if the Scene Is Now copped the title of their great LP "Burn All Your Records" from the Bard of Avon (Calling)?

Tony! I cheated and googled your clue so I'm disqualifying myself.

Googling is Kenny G–endorsed, so admissible.

I just assumed Shakespeare was prophesying Birmingham's response to The Beatles in 1966.
Avatar 12:44pm
Tony Coulter:

The Paddock is a Mick Hobbs outfit and is probably just Officer under another name.

@ Tony: that LP jacket does bear a thematic resemblance to The Strangler's 'Dream Time' LP cover.
  12:53pm
Dean:

Percy Sledge, RIP.
  12:54pm
Dean:

Coincidentally, Sledge recorded "When a Man Loves a Woman" in 1966 in Birmingham.

@ V Priceless: Very much so!
Avatar 1:08pm
Tony Coulter:

Just thought of a good mashup: "When a Man Loves a Man and a Woman." (Percy Sledge meets Francis Lai.)

I'm still waiting for someone to mash-up "Paranoid" with The Kinks "Here Comes Flash"!

"When a Man Loves a Man and a Woman in Love": Sledge/Lai/Streisand
Avatar 1:17pm
Tony Coulter:

So, the only artist on these two Local International tapes I've never found anything else by is Suyama Kumyko (on now). Has anyone ever heard any of her LPs? www.discogs.com...

Just have never across any of them in all my record poking and travels.

Tony Coulter:

"When a Man Loves a Man and a Woman in Love with Love" (Sledge/Lai/Streisand/Debbie Harry)

When will it end?
Avatar 🥁 1:28pm
Snortley:

Certainly there's stuff around by René Lussier, like the album with Fred Frith, "Nous Autres."
  1:30pm
Dean:

Lots of Lussier and LePage on Victo and Ambiances Magnetiques.
Avatar 1:31pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya Snortley,

Yeah, there's a ton of things with René Lussier out there -- I've got a bunch. I've found things by everyone on these tapes except Suyama Kumyko. As you can deduce, these tapes were a big influence on my listening habits (have had 'em since the '80s).

My favorite Lussier albums is Le Trésor De La Langue. Pretty dang cool.

Tony Coulter:

The Robert Griffin LPs are very un–Recommended Records-y — in that they are solo sort-of-jazz piano recordings — but they are great and quite unique: rateyourmusic.com...

Heya Rich! That's my favorite Lussier album as well!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:40pm

I can't think of too many albums that play with the natural melody of people's speech in that way. Maybe Scott Johnson's John Somebody comes close.

this is amazing, Tony! Been in and out of meetings all morning, so unable to pop in until now.
Avatar 1:45pm
Tony Coulter:

SO: The one problem with this Tellus cassette is that it has very little high end -- it has perhaps been overly dolby-ized.
Avatar 1:46pm
Tony Coulter:

To make up for that, I've cranked it up high.
Avatar 1:47pm
Tony Coulter:

Volume-wise, I mean. I leave it to you to adjust your treble.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:48pm
listener james from westwood:

We got treble! With a capital T!
  1:49pm
Dean:

All about that bass, no treble.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:49pm
Rich in Washington:

The versions of the Tellus series I've run across have pretty inconsistent fidelity. I don't own any of them so I don't know if it's the people archiving them or how the original articles were as they came out.
Avatar 1:49pm
Tony Coulter:

Work that treble, baby!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:50pm
Rich in Washington:

I am missing so much upper range in my ears that any add'l treble is no trouble.

Cecile:

You know, Charles Vrtacek should write a book. He has been in the thick of the whole tape thing for at least 35 years.
Avatar 1:51pm
Tony Coulter:

I love Vrtacek's Residents parody cassette -- which I will air here one of these days.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm
Rich in Washington:

I think of all the things I've ripped and archived when I used to wear shit headphones. I can hear the horrid EQ jobs I did on them. It really pays to spend the extra bucks for decent cans.
Amusingly, was in a LinkedIn discussion about monitoring and headphones and it degenerated into a poo-slinging fest.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:52pm
Rich in Washington:

Residents parody? That sounds intriguing, Tony!

Snortley:

Tony, were you a Tellus subscriber back then?
Avatar 2:06pm
Tony Coulter:

No, I wasn't. Got the few Tellus cassettes I have later on and not from them directly (don't remember when or where).
Avatar 🥁 2:07pm
Snortley:

Tellus #12 is very good, as is the tango issue, too.
Avatar 2:08pm
Tony Coulter:

I've got the Fluxus one -- forget what number that is. I will play it here sooner or later.
Avatar 2:10pm
Tony Coulter:

It's #24: www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🥁 2:12pm
Snortley:

I don't think I have that one. Look forward to hearing it.
Avatar 2:12pm
Tony Coulter:

I'll keep an eye out for #12 and the tango tape -- don't have either of those.
Avatar 2:25pm
Tony Coulter:

So, according to this admittedly questionable article, my Portland neighborhood (zip code 97214) has the most vinyl shops per capita of any place in the entire United States: www.redfin.com...

I kind of think it might be true, actually. Oddly, that (possible) fact has nothing whatever to do with why I moved here.
Avatar 🥁 2:26pm
Snortley:

Turns out the entire Tellus catalog is on Ubuweb now:

Good to know! Thanks, Snortley

Tony, I hear Little Axe is getting the axe. Do you know if this is true?
Avatar 2:28pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Rich: Nope, fortunately that is not true. They have found a new space, into which they are moving next month. 46th and SE Fremont, if I remember correctly.
Avatar 2:30pm
Tony Coulter:

Which is great, as they are definitely one of the very best Portland record stores.

Back when I used to lurk on reddit/vinyl, it was amusing whenever a PDX record store thread came up.

V Priceless:

wow - Vegas at #3? Never would have suspected that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:34pm
Rich in Washington:

Little Axe and Exiled are my current faves, maybe followed by Clinton Street. I almost never frequent stores on the west side. It is a completely unknown territory to me.
Avatar 2:34pm
Tony Coulter:

C.N. (of "Cannon Y for C.N.") = Conlon Nancarrow, I'm sure
Avatar 2:38pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Rich: For me it's Little Axe, Exiled, and Crossroads (in no particular order)
Avatar 2:44pm
Tony Coulter:

Belmont Records, which is a stone's throw from me, has been getting better of late. Lots of cheap oddities.
