Description
Polish pressed music cassette. Clear Starling/Intermusic cassette with yellow text.
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 Starling Tapematic Recording/Intermusic based on the Balicka street in Krakow. When the Polish Parliament passed on a new copyright law in May of 1994 most Polish cassette labels disappeared but Starling changed direction and became a legitimate company.
American glamsters Warrants third album the 1992’s Michael Wagener produced ‘Dog Eat Dog’ eschewed the Pop Metal theme of ‘Cherry Pie’. Around this time the Seattle sound starting making its presence and Warrant opted to get back to their metallic roots with an leather image to match to try to remain competitive. The record was darker and more aggressive and powerful. Many consider this to be the strongest to date but if fared badly and failed to attain the platinum status of its predecessors. Nevertheless, it was ironic that the poor showing of the new album in America led to the band finally making it over to Europe for a number of shows on the Iron Maiden headlined ‘Monsters Of Rock’ festivals where the group acquitted themselves well. Unfortunately, poor reaction at retail to ‘Dog Eat Dog’ led to a parting of the ways with Columbia and Warrant would also split for a period with Jani Lane.
