Do not own any official BoC tapes. So I had to snag this. Thanks for the heads up.

33 USD? Spicy pricey!

Special inferno pricing. Get 'em while they're hot.

Pricey for a tape but this will no doubt be a collector's gem. I'm so glad I passed on the red vinyl last night. I didn't expect this to drop so soon.

I listen to my tapes more than any vinyl I own. With prices going up, I can't really justify vinyl anymore.

I bought one, i'm going to play the fuck out of it and make a real lofi version of the album

One less tape, thanks to me. I was really hesitating, weighing my greed vs curiosity vs joy. But I actually wrote on here somewhere that my two wishes-not predictions- for what could come out of the VHS mystery (remember not knowing?) were a flexi vinyl sent out in a nat'l geographic format art magazine (ok, not quite), and any official new music on a tape format. Had to do it. Too late to look back now. Press play!

Full solidarity to you, this is one of the unicorn releases where I snagged all 3 formats. I don't do that. The other time it happened was kind of a fluke. But this one is exceedingly special!

Out of curiosity for anyone who already received their tape, do you know what formulation the tapes are using (Type I Ferric, Type II Chrome, etc.) ?

Doesn't state. The only specification printed is the 1 7/8 IPS speed. I doubt it's anything out the ordinary, although looks great and mine was made in the UK.

YES! Woo! I get stuff on tape whenever I can, thanks so much for the heads up! I would have missed this completely otherwise.

I also try to release my own stuff on tape whenever I can. God bless Josh at Illuminated Paths for that.

Listening to my copy now, it's crazy how good this sounds. So glad I went with this over vinyl. Just not much of a fan of vinyl these days.

Based on my experience with releasing tapes, I'm guessing this was manufactured by BandCDs. They use type 1 as far as I know, but with a client like this the accessibility for options is probably unlimited.
