    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

A sentimental Doo-wop. Recorded on a Yamaha MT4X cassette recorder and a Sony dictaphone during COVID Lockdown 2020 in the back shed.

lyrics

Mwah wah waa
I’m such a fool
What should I do
You were my only
But now we are through
Now I must cry
Cause I’m a fool such as I

I was so happy
You were that special friend
All of the good times
Then comes the end
Now I must cry
Because I’m a fool such as I

Oh what a fool, oh what a fool what a mighty fool, oh what a fool
Oh what a fool, oh what a fool he’s a mighty fool, oh what a fool
Oh what a fool, oh what a fool he’s a mighty fool hey hey
And that is where this little boy is going to stay!

My life is empty I got it wrong
My ships lost direction the marbles are gone
Now I must cry cause I’m a fool such as I

That’s right, take my advice kids, get a good job at the bank or somethin’!
