This first attempt at an audio cassette counterpart to the visual 'zine PhotoStatic assembles audio works - finished pieces, works-in-progress, simple experiments - mainly from friends and acquaintances in Iowa City, where the collection was compiled. Interestingly for Tape-beatle fans, most of the later members of that group are represented here, already getting familiar with what can only be called cassette "hacking" and other novel audio tape techniques. Other contributions came from the base of PhotoStatic contributors that had begun to assemble around that publication.

Compilation edited by Paul Neff
