Description

Polish pressed music cassette. Clear cassette with small Roxana sticker.

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 label were Roxana that joined rather late. They seems to have started around 1990-1991 and approx 260 tapes were released before they closed down in 1994 when the Polish Parliament passed on their new copyright law in May of 1994.

Guns N Roses ballads was something that Slash thought was kind of lame in the 90s but Axl loved writing and singing them, so he pushed for them to be on the albums anyway. And Axl was right, without these ballads the band probably never would have been as big as they were. Slash might have been worried that these songs would have turned GnR into Chicago, Foreigner or REO Speedwagon. Axl however was more influenced by the way Queen and Elton John built up their songs and Axls ballads were so brilliant compared to many of those US Aor and arena acts. Another fact is that Slash actually performed some of his best solos on the more melodic tracks. The things he does on Knocking On Heavens Door, November Rain and Estranged is what made him a guitar god.
