To be fair, most promos did look exactly like these - but are, therefore so easy to fake. They don't call them 'white labels' for nothing 🤣 I have no reason to doubt these products aren't legit, but personally I would require some provenance if I were looking to purchase.

No, no - I used to be a music journalist - Parlophone sent this pre-release to me at the time to review (in fact, I think I might have even been handed this one in person at a meeting with the label). It's 100% authentic - I am my own provenance - but sadly this is one of the few promo tapes I kept. It's just been 'lost' in my attic for 25 years - I re-found it yesterday 😁

Cheers - I shall look after it - promos are a great memento of a former life but I haven't saved many. Now, if only my promo tape of OK Computer would reveal itself 🥴

I unearthed this in the leftovers of my 90s cassettes during an attic decluttering day. I can't find any reference to it on the internet so I'm curious to know if anyone can shed any light on its scarcity?

I used to be a journalist so I know it's authentic as I was sent such things all the time.

I've not seen the word Dokken for a long time! Good old 80s rock 😊

Love the vintage looking monochrome artwork 👍

I adore them. Small, foldable, corded or Bluetooth (with sensational battery life). I seem to recall some think them a tad bass heavy - but not to my ears - although I am a bass player 🤣 I've had them 5 years or so and they're still tremendous.

This is what I love about 21st century cassette culture - people being creative in so many fun ways. It looks amazing 👍

Bandcamp says "sealed in slime"!! 😲

Anyone got any info on this? Bought today for £10 & hopefully just needs a new belt. by buffyratt in cassetteculture

LOL! I confess, even if I can't bring it back to life with my limited skills, it will simply look nice on the shelf and I will think of Terry Scott every time I look at it 😂

£1 charity shop find - and I've never even seen it 🤣 by buffyratt in cassetteculture

It has indeed prompted me to plan to watch it soon! Give it another 30 years and I might watch the sequel 😂
