My copy was ahem… borrowed from Jeff Brennan in the Underground circa ‘84.

Thanks Jeff!

Fantastic find gents!

Seeing this reminds me of when I lost all my tapes in a house move years ago. I disliked BASF cards. The heavy black ruler lines made it look like a ledger and there wasn’t enough room to write artist & song details for each side. Mine inevitably ended up covered in tippex. Fascinating, eh?

Once again a great find, thanks for posting.

Cheers. And for anyone who hasn’t come across it yet, irishrockorg is by far the best Irish music resource on the web. Admirable stuff.
