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.
Us Thrashers fourth album came out in 1991 and Out Of Order sounds immediately different from the previous Nuclear Assault releases. Gone is much of the earlier almost insane speed, and the first half of this album is rather mid-tempo stuff. In general there’s a lot more variety in the music (take the long instrumental Save The Planet, for example) although this does not remarkably lessen the band’s powerful sound. The production is pretty crunchy and suits even the slower songs well. Of course, Nuclear Assault had not totally forgotten their customary high-speed habits and the fast Stop Wait Think is an example of some of the better tracks on this album. It’s true that Out Of Order lacks some of the intensity of the band’s other recordings, and we could have lived without the cover version of Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz. Even if it cant live up to the first three album its still far from being a really bad album.
