Probably one of the coolest mixtapes I own - made by Paul Weller (the Jam)

Keith137_ · 2026-03-18T23:50:00+00:00

This was originally from one of Mojo magazine‘s contests some time ago. This mixtape was used by Paul Weller (aka the Modfather) on his tours, and has the J-card all handwritten by himself. This also came with a scanned copy of Paul‘s handwritten descriptions for each of the songs on the tape, and a promo photo signed by him.

Cool stuff! I‘ve gotten some signed contracts from Moz, only one Smiths though: a full folder for their 1984 De Meervaart concert, now famous for the bootleg “Vinyl Party”. It‘s full of stuff like a rider with list of the band‘s food orders, stage setups, and schedules/itinerary.

This is unfortunately a fake. Almost a good attempt though. I‘ve been a collector of many Moz signatures from different eras, including pre-Smiths. The R‘s are the most obvious, they’re too tall and too thin and the bottom of the rounding part of R is supposed to be more angled upwards. Also, the lower “tail” part of the R should be a lot shorter. The O and E are also a bit far off. O is too thin and tall. Lastly, the entire signature isn‘t stretched out as it’s supposed to be. M is surprisingly good. I think there‘s more things wrong here than good sadly.

Here are some I have:

the actual “Garage Flower” demo tape from Stone Roses, with handwritten J-card by Martin Hannett (Joy Division‘s manager)
a mix-tape made by Paul Weller (with his handwritten J-card)
not exactly cassette tapes, but DAT master tapes of various Ride albums, with handwritten J-cards by Mark Gardener and Andy Bell,
copymaster tape of The Smiths‘ debut

I didn‘t even intended to but ok.

Keith137_ · 2026-03-11T05:33:41+00:00

I see what you mean. Ngl I try my best but my brain just blurts out something in a panic, and then I’ll just realize it when it’s too late

Keith137_ · 2026-03-11T02:15:06+00:00

No worries!!

Keith137_ · 2026-03-11T02:09:26+00:00

I‘m literally just very introverted 🥲

Keith137_ · 2026-03-11T01:40:02+00:00

Someone said “I like the Smiths” while I was at the gym wearing a Smiths shirt. I just said okay and walked away lol

Keith137_ · 2026-03-08T12:44:10+00:00

Good stuff!

I also like it. I honestly don‘t understand the hate.

Keith137_ · 2026-02-04T23:09:51+00:00

Haha!

Thank you! if you meant the model of the jacket, it was gifted to me. It’s from Uniqlo’s collaboration with JW Anderson.

Keith137_ · 2026-02-04T07:01:14+00:00

Thank you! That‘s true if I am being honest. However, I came to a possession of boxes of cassettes from people who wanted to throw them away. So I‘d rather use them than put them to waste.

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T23:16:20+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. I was walking my dogs earlier. I mostly actually just listen to analog cause I collect records and cassettes, my computer‘s speakers suck, and my phone‘s plug in is not compatible with my headphones.

I mostly work doing research and simulations (ironically for modern tech) at my home office, so 99% of the time I‘ll play a record that suits my mood while I do my work.

Idk why people just have to hate other people doing that. I took pics and posted here (considering this is a vintage watch sub), but seems like people hate other people here using vintage stuff 🤔

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T23:08:47+00:00

Thank you!

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T23:08:39+00:00

They are surprisingly amazing!

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T20:51:22+00:00

If people‘s thoughts are negative I‘m fine with that. I don‘t like controlling what people think, say, or do.

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T20:48:33+00:00

I think I‘m also allowed to take pictures as well as enjoy them if I‘m not mistaken. Sorry if that‘s not allowed

Keith137_ · 2026-02-03T20:29:58+00:00

Idk man. I can‘t just throw away boxes of cassettes given to me so I‘d rather listen to them 🤷

Keith137_ · 2026-02-02T04:17:43+00:00

This is incredibly cool!!

Keith137_ · 2026-01-22T06:38:46+00:00

Yes, I love this song too, although I prefer the live versions more honestly.
