[peel] RE: Two October 1989 shows

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

yeah you are right - when you listen to the lyrics of c30c60c90 that is exactly what they are saying - I just remember MMcl going over the top and claiming that cassettes were the future and only releasing c30c60c90 on cassette  as a "cassette pet" and mine breaking really quickly and me getting pissed off. 

I always wished that some music had been killed of by home taping - it might have been fresher for longer - a bit like today when stuff pours out on to youtube etc ... trouble is that there's too much of it and they charge ridiculous amounts for live gigs - a bit like footy!

I remember some clever variation on that BPI line, superimposed over a 
cassette skull 'n' crossbones design.. "Home taping is skill in music"  ;-)

>I think BowWowWow were saying that "the kids" couldn't afford vinyl at the  ripoff prices the industry were charging (around £2.50 an album in those days,  the artist got less than 50p of that), so were ripping tracks off the radio  and off their mates' vinyl onto cassette. Something that everybody knew,  ("Home taping is killing music" was the rather hollow claim of the industry at  the time), but that no-one had actually celebrated before.

Although I love the format I  think BowWowWow and Talcy Malcy made a false move to think it would replace  the irreplaceable vinyl. It has its place for compilations and transferring  stuff off the radio in realtime - I presume people can do this on to CD but I  still use tapes ...
