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

about
My nod to the musical genius called Jimi Hendrix. Recorded on a Yamaha MT4X cassette recorder and a Sony dictaphone during COVID Lockdown 2020 in the back shed.
lyrics
Hi it’s me, cellblock 7315. Lil’ Jakey here has had to resort to the telescreen for some live music. Yeah it’s the pits. Anyway, he falls asleep and dreams his own musical desires.
(Unrecorded lyrics)
Music whispers love I love you
You held me up when I was alone
But it was love and not confusion
Saying... these wings I’m going to give you will help you get back home
Fly on little sparrow
Wake up there Jakey.
