    News Update February 2018 Tape-Mag.com up now!

    By Don Campau | 23 February 2018

    Due to so many other commitments I have been unable to make an Update for over a year. I am Program Director for a small, community its radio station in Northern California ( KOWS-FM…www.kows.fm ) and I have radio shows of my own on 4 separate stations worldwide. Drop by my www.doncampau.com website for the full resources which includes a ton of free music to download and much more.

    The highlight of this News Update is information about the unveiling of Tape-Mag.com, a massive website produced by Germany’s Frank Maier.

    For many years, Frank Maier has been running the Vinyl On Demand record label, a high quality vinyl operation that has released ( and re-issued ) a tremendous amount of underground and overlooked artists. Frank has now turned his attention to Cassette Culture with his expanding and mind blowing, Tape-Mag.com website which documents Cassette Culture artists, labels, magazines, and so much more about this worldwide underground scene which existed in the 80s/90s ( and to some extent even now ).

    He still has much work to do but you will be amazed by what he has done already. Bookmark his site and visit later as more is being posted all the time.
