Description

Polish pressed music cassette. Clear cassette with printed paper label.

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 catalog number of one particular label. Some cassettes just rarely shows up. One of the bigger cassettes labels were Takt Music in Warsaw and another one was MG Records, which was a sub-label of GM Records (both used the same logo during the early 90s). Just like Takt they started in 1990 and existed up until 1994 and during those 4 years they released approx 3000 tapes. Under the name of GM Records they started a pressing plant in Poland after these cassette years was over.

The Mark Dodson produced ‘Persistence Of Time’ album went on to gold status shifting more than 600’000 copies as Island and Anthrax parted company. Undoubtedly stung by criticism aimed at the groups lighthearted manner, questionable apparel and a glut of gimmickry, Persistence Of Time showed a darker side to Anthrax, bordering on the progressive with tracks not only longer but deadly serious in nature. An offbeat cover version came with a take on Joe Jacksons ‘Got The Time’, another hit for the band. This Polish tape features 9 tracks and lacks the tracks Intro To Reality and One Man Stands
