THE MIXTAPE

The selection of songs on the cassette accompanying MUSIC FANZINE vol.2 comes from the first vinyl albums I bought and liked. I asked my brother Jawad to transfer the songs from vinyl to digital, and then from digital to tape. A tortuous process, yes, but I’m very happy with the final result.

For the unlucky ones who do not own tape players anymore, here are the two sides of the cassette in digital form, for easier listening access. There were several songs which did not fit on the cassette, so I added them here as well. A bonus selection, so to speak. Enjoy!
