Individually Recorded and Manufactured by Jacob Boote. The first release edition cassette is a NOS Sony HF 46 and is limited to 30 units. Jacob carefully removes the brand new Sony cassette from its wrapper savvying the crisp freshness hidden fore there within. He then meticulously plays it through once to evenly pack the tape to perfection in preparation for the recording. Jacob then removes any residue oxides remnants from the recorder heads with the utmost care. He then induces with precision the desired voltage of his own recipe and design to render an analog musical entertainment experience. The first edition album cassette includes a premium semigloss J card with original artwork, album notes and lyrics for that old school album experience. Viva the audio compact cassette

lyrics
Hi it’s me, a couple of days out from release and poor old Jackey’s mind has put him in a spin.
Now you might hear... the sky is falling
Now you might hear... it’s all a scam
Now you might hear... there’s forces hiding
Now you might hear... it’s all in hand
Every day is a tape loop honey
It goes round and round
Dragging across that head magnetic
It’s a battleground
Now you might hear... we need more money
Now you might hear... we have a plan
Now you might hear... a vaccine’s comin’
And you might hear... a saviours just at hand
Every day is a tape loop honey
It goes round and round
Dragging across that had magnetic
It’s a battleground (repeat)
Hey yeah they don’t care
It’s all about the money man (repeat)
