Does anyone know much about the Loawai Tapes cassette releases?
The only reason I ask is because of this cassette which appeared on ebay (I got outbid in the last few seconds)
Bulkhead, Santa Cruz 1990-09-07
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390694119463?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&autorefresh=trueAs far as I can make out, It isn't listed on either Discogs or Wikipedia. I'm aware of two others featuring recordings from the same tour
-Kaleidoscope 1990-09-05
-Armpit, San Francisco 1990-09-08
-'Great American Nude' was also recorded over various dates in the US, beginning a couple of weeks after the dates these cassettes were recorded. One of the tracks was also released in it's entirety on VHS.
It has me thinking about this US Tour of 1990, how many dates there were, and whether there are any more 'hidden' cassette releases documenting each performance of the tour. I suspect they might have all been recorded by Akita and used as raw material if nothing else.
I cant find a great deal of info about Loawai Tapes. They were also responsible for the re-release of 'Metal Acoustic Music' and a couple of Masonna cassettes, but that seems to be about it.
