The Legendary Tape Recordings VOL.2 is in production right now.
We’ve worked hard in the past months to put out the second compilation album (VINYL, CD, CAS and DIGITAL) of Don Walter’s legendary Tapes on time. Vinyl already entered in production and we’re crossing fingers that we’ll have them on time for the Calypso Festival scheduled 15-18th of August 2019.
Why do we issue Don Walter's new album also on Cassettes?
We feel it is essential to re-issue Walter Gavitt Ferguson's sound on Cassettes, because the artist is really inseparable from this medium for three good reasons:
- Cassettes are the source: All recordings on the album stem from recovered Audio Cassettes.
- Cassettes are Gavitt's trade mark: He is not only King of Calypso but also King of low-fi home recording.
- Cassettes contain his musical legacy.
The Legendary Tape Recordings Vol.1 (released in 2018) is still available here. In Costa Rica Vol 1 is available here (CAHUITA) and here (SAN JOSE).
