I get it for the super expensive box set but with a 5 month pre-order time they could've made enough cassettes. In my opinion, it boils down to two main factors. Demand and logistics. I feel Warp didn't want to make too many cassettes as they were unsure if they would actually be in demand, so a small batch limited run was the logical option. Then theres the logistics of sourcing 500+ chrome cassette tapes (probably 100 minutes per tape in length), and the packaging for them too. This seems to be very difficult as chrome cassettes aren't in production anymore, making a wide release of the cassettes not very viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Visitor Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I heard some time ago that SAW II sounds glorious on cassette for some reason I cant remember. Wonder if as it ages, the crunchiness and fading would add to the mystique of the sound hmmm... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe that's just what it is.. inherently the tone and hiss definitely have a vibe, but when it wears out that's probably where the fun comes from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some out of the 70ies from flea markets. They kept all their sparkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
