Description

Polish pressed music cassette. Clear printed Takt Music cassette.

Poland is probably the country that had the most record labels in the world that only released cassettes. But even though there were lots of labels the market was still small as they only printed these for their own market inside of Poland. And a label in one town maybe lacked the distribution for another town and so on. A Warzaw or Krakow label might print more copies of a tape then labels from a smaller town. So even if there are thousands of releases you will notice how rare some are if you start to try to list the catalogue number of one particular label. Some cassettes just rarely shows up. One of the bigger cassettes labels were Takt Music in Warsaw. They started in 1990 as Tact then changed name in 1991 to Takt Music who existed up until 1994 before becoming a major pressing plant in Poland and changing the name to Takt.

In 1982 Accept released their first really classic metal album, Restless And Wild. So for their German label Brain records it was a good time to release a Best Of album to promote the bands back catalog. Why Brain records omitted one of the first ever thrash metal tracks to sweep the metal underground, Fast As A Shark is a mystery but I guess when this compilation album was put together the label weren’t aware of what a classic this track would become over the years. Early tracks such as Lady Lou, I’m A Rebel and Breaker together with the new tracks Princess Of The Dawn and Restless And Wild are here. When the Polish label Takt decided to release this on tape in 1992 they replaced the opening track Burning with the 1986 track Russian Roulette making it a rather odd compilation as you now can question why they didn’t add anything from the bands two best selling albums Balls To The Wall and Metal Heart. Well I guess this is one of the reason why you just cant help loving Polish tapes.

1. Russian Roulette
2. Restless And Wild
3. Son Of A Bitch

5. Not Time To Lose
