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

My nod to the musical genius called Prince. Recorded on a Yamaha MT4X cassette recorder and a Sony dictaphone during COVID Lockdown 2020 in the back shed.
lyrics
Hi it’s me again, cellblock 7315. Remember lil’ Jakey? Well the guy is a mess. Weeks of lockdown and over exposure to some secret chrome formula from the 90s has left him in the pits. Anyways, under his own grand illusions he turns to us and speaks; “I’ve just gotta sing with a high voice!”
You’ve got me in a lockdown
You forget your love is hot
Lockdown... I have no breaks I cannot stop
Lockdown... She had her hands upon my chest
Lockdown... You are the one you are the best
When I’m with you baby
It’s just me and you
I don’t care for your clothes your hair
I just want you to tell me what you want me to do
In lockdown... She said I should go down
Lockdown... Came off in her dressing gown
Lockdown... Pulls aside her underwear
Lockdown... She don’t let me come up for air air air air ah ah ah ah
Hey Jakey whatcha doing in there?
Nothin’
You busy?
No
