We all love the classic BMX / GCI tapes right? Well... What makes a tape classic material???

The DJ?

The Songs?

The tape quality? (ie cheap tapes)

The vibe?

The memories?

The memories? All of the above. I have a contact that has about 50 wbmx mixes on tape that he has converted to cd.

The sound isn't that good but it's there.

[/QUOTE]i couldn't find these words, thanks. yeah. i mean, the stuff back then was so raw and was done for love of the game no doubt. everyone at that time was struggling to make this thing happen and constantly pushed the envelope whether be it on the tables or in the production studio.
