Thanks for sharing Stuart, that's a tale often told by many a former budding rock star. How do your tapes sound now? I transferred a lot of demo tapes(C 60s) I recorded with bands years ago to CDR as well at one point and found the tapes still sounded as fresh as the day they were dubbed them from the master tape. I think cassettes can be a lot more durable than they are often credited with being. You're right these 'left in a draw' recordings are part of our own history and that of our town for that matter.

For those who didn't want to take a blind punt (or should that be deaf punt, lol) you can listen to these tracks on bandcamp - certainly rough around the edges;
