  • The Living Archive of Underground Music

    cassettes international

    Of course cassette culture and underground music was alive and kicking hard in other countries besides the US. In fact, some suggest that it really started there, in England and continental Europe. Over the years I got more involved with trading tapes and making contacts in other places. Andy Xport and Lord Litter were two figures that really opened the door for me into other countries.

    I will not attempt to give you a comprehensive survey of other areas but show you some tape covers and convey a bit of information about my experiences and the music I have come across.
