That's all for today.. Good night.. and leave a comment if these cassette covers, some of which are extremely rare , interest you!

The Kinks...

Twang and surf...

More blues..

Some random blues covers...

Freddie in 1969

                                                                   aka  Freddy King...

Back before the 'Net.. it was virtually impossible to find any Freddie King on tape.. until 'Modern Blues' started re-issuing the early albums (around '87, I think)

This was a *real* find back then..!

Ole Miss(ed it by a hair)

AFAIK, the very same year that this tape came out all cassettes started carrying 'bar codes'..
Seeing as this one doesn't have one.. must have just 'missed' it :-)

More B.B. King ones..

Got a couple of the 'Kent' reissues .. often the only reason these kind of cassettes even exist is that usually, when a label is either about to be purchased, or be assessed for value.. etc.. they reissue lots of stuff in order to increase their value.. we can be thankful for stuff like that if we collect hard to find releases, as that's often the only way some of that stuff ever sees the light of day.
I suspect that may have been the case here.. as these ones were not exactly moneymakers.. and they didn't release them for more than one year..

Don't know about the 'United' releases.. probably the same..

This 'Fantasy' release i know *nothing* about.. it's not in any catalog I've had either..

AFAIK, the very same year that this tape came out all cassettes started carrying 'bar codes'..

Seeing as this one doesn't have one.. must have just 'missed' it :-)

Here's another Albert King cassette cover..

This one's kinda cool.. a Tomato 'Albert'

Well. first post...and it's Albert King

So just got a cassette i bought online.. sight unseen..
Turns out to be the one of the rarest blues cassettes I've ever seen..
I thought it might be a Tomato or so.. It's an RCA distribution of the Utopia release of Albert Live 1977.
I didn't even know it existed.. there are absolutely NO records of it ever existing anywhere.
Furthermore, i got it STILL SEALED..
Wow...

Well, I'm slowly updating all these posts to include the cassette shells too, for the ones that are missing them,.. starting here

A late addition to this, my first post, is another Albert King tape.. in keeping with my plan to group together all the artists in their own spot:

Apparently, this album , in any format, is quite hard to find.. I don't recall ever having seen a cassette verison before, that's for sure..
