“This cassette began as a mail order only offer through the NME. Two tracks (marked **) are new, due to contractual obligations. Many thanks to the NME for their efforts”
(Sorry, the cover to this cassette went AWOL)
Rough Trade just put out a new limited edition cassette in the vein of other NME cassettes such as from back in the day. So even though almost all the tracks have been widely blogged check I simply had to cover it and Rough Trade had sent me a copy and I like them .
