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.

Van Halen’s Van Halen Live: Right Here, Right Now was released in 1993, before the embarrassing personnel meltdown that sent the band into Spinal Tap obscurity. Fans looking to capture the glory days before the ship went down will learn that something was rotten in Halen-town before the public knew it. This tape contains the first 11 tracks from the live concert (with Sammy Hagar of course) that was recorded during the bands For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge tour and released on the album Right Here Right Now. Reocrded over multiple nights, the audio might be from the best performance, but Hagar has even implied that a lot of post-production was added to their later live material, making one wonder if what is heard is actually live, or is it Memorex?
