THE CATCH - Heart's Desire (1993 Bellevue, WA) Tetelestai Ministries - Christian Gospel

 photo 88a3936d-2844-4954-9ca2-3dbd9c0ec0f3_zpsb0cfd9c4.jpg Here is yet another Christian tape that I know little about. What I do know is that it is a TAPE ONLY release and I'm sure it is very hard to find. It was released in 1993 by Tetelestai Ministries of Bellevue, Washington. It features 11 songs and (in my opinion) it is pretty good music.

NICK WALKER - Say So (1987 Lynnwood, WA) CHRISTIAN - GOSPEL

 photo b7c3bf62-0067-444b-9e34-0243572f4b5f_zps5594288c.jpg Here is the other Nick Walker tape that I had written about in the Nick Walker "Good Good News" post earlier. I believe this was his follow up to that one. This was released in 1987 on Small Gate Records and features 11 great songs. It is a TAPE ONLY release and is VERY hard to find. A must have for Christian music collectors. I have lots of Christian music, especially old tapes that were never released on cd. I know that I keep saying "I have tons of stuff coming" and it hasn't come, or at least not quickly enough. I hope you all can bear with me. I have severe depression and it keeps me from doing what I want or need to do. I apologize!

TEXANS - Self Titled (198? Branson, MO) Christian - Gospel - TAPE ONLY

 photo d7d5bb8f-5b9c-4d62-b52a-5f9e45ae83c6_zps45c58332.jpg
The Texans began in 1971 as The Masters' Four; a full time traveling quartet. In 1983, they moved to Branson, MO and became known as The Texans. Since the artwork shows the band's address in Branson this must be from 1983 or later so it must be from 1983 or later, but I'm not sure exactly when. I also know that this was a TAPE ONLY release and never made it to cd. They are still performing today, although the line-up is different and many members have come and gone over the years. They have done shows with Christian heavyweights including Cecil Todd, TD Jakes, Jesse Duplantis, Jerry Falwell, Tim Lahaye, and many more.

SECOND WIND - This Old Man (2000 Shelton, WA) AOR - Rock

 photo scan0014.jpg Second Wind is Mikey Les Taylor, Mike Allegri, and Ross Rutlege. They released this lesser known gem in 2000. 15 tracks of stripped down rock n roll. It's got a couple ballads, as well as a couple instrumentals. It was really refreshing to hear some straight ahead rock n roll, when the rock being released at that time was girly and lame.

EL JAY WILLIAMS - Available To You (200? Independence, MO)

 photo scan0013.jpg Here is an awesome cd from El Jay Williams. It features 3 tracks ("If You Love Me", "Walk Away", and "Available To You"). I am not positive about the date of it`s release, but I want to say 2005. If not 2005, it was released in between 1998 and 2006. If you have any information about El Jay or this cd, please leave a comment or email me.

NICK WALKER - Good Good News (1985 Lynnwood, WA) Christian Gospel

 photo f7fa1334-ec36-4125-ac9f-a064f0f4e089_zpsf0360001.jpg Here is a great Christian tape from Nick Walker. It was released in 1985 on Small Gate Records. I hope you all are ready, because soon I will be posting tons of tape only releases and tons of Christian ones. I know one of those cassettes will be another release from Nick Walker, but I don't remember the title. Keep an eye out for it. Anyway, back to the matter at hand. This 10 track album is great.

VIM - Buddhamatic (1994 Los Gatos, CA) TAPE ONLY - GRUNGE

 photo af7666ad-be33-4ee4-a1cb-ec4a07baf5f9_zpsf49a2def.jpg Here is a killer TAPE ONLY release from the Los Gatos, California band "Vim". It was released in 1994 on RDR Recordings and it features the four tracks "He Called", "Angel", "Noisy Neighbors", and "Lorilie". I love grunge, and I'm always trying to find grungy music that I somehow missed and it's pretty hard for me to find stuff since I have a GIANT collection and have almost everything that I know of. Anyway, the point is, if you are a grunge junkie or just a junkie period, you need this!

Get it before I sell it to someone else.

CANNABYSS - Demo (1994 Rockford, IL) DEMO TAPE - Death Metal

 photo Canabyss_zpsxzjji5qs.jpg Here is a great demo tape from the Rockford, Illinois death metal band "Cannabyss". They are no longer a band and haven't been since sometime in the mid or late 90`s, which is sad because I think they were a killer band. Unfortunately this is the only recorded material that they released. At least they left us 3 songs to enjoy, they are "Stench", "The Collective",and "Bloodlust". Check out the artwork on this one, not the greatest artist in the world or anything, but it's still pretty sweet!

SKITSO - Skitsophrenia Vol. 1 (199? Seattle, WA) Punk Rock - TAPE ONLY

 photo Skitso_zpstyamotqu.jpg Here is a super rare TAPE ONLY release from "Skitso". I'm not sure exactly when this one was released, but I am thinking it was definitely early 90`s. It features 8 tracks and cool artwork! I don't have a whole lot of information on these guys, and can't find anything online. If you know anything about these guys please leave me a comment or send me an email.

KOKANE - Funk Upon A Rhyme (1994 Pomona, CA) Ruthless Records - Cold 187um - Above The Law

 photo Kokane_zpsaph80jf8.jpg Here is a classic G-funk album from Kokane. Released in 1994 on Ruthless Records, a lot of folks think this was his first release, however, he released an album under the name "Who Am I?", before Funk Upon A Rhyme, so this is really his sophomore release. This cd is super tight, it features production from Cold 187um and guest spots from Above The Lay, The Liks, and Dirty Red. It also features a tight Death Row Records diss track!

PENTHOUSE PLAYERS CLIQUE - Paid The Cost (1992 Compton, CA) DJ Quik - Eazy E - AMG

 photo Paid_The_Cost_zps1wxhs5bx.jpg Here is a classic Ruthless Records release from 1992. P.P.C. was made up of Playa Hamm and Tweed Cadillac and DJ Quik. They came together in 1991 and soon after signed a deal with Eazy-E's Ruthless Records. Unfortunately they only had a few releases. Before inking a deal with Ruthless they released a 12" of "They Don't Know", which ended up being a bonus cut on "Paid The Cost" which is their second release.They also had a track on the Trespass Soundtrack in 1993P.P.C. reunited in 2001 and have made music together and solo.

CHUNK - Break `Em Off A Chunk (1994 East Palo Alto, CA) Sean T - Caus - Papoose

 photo Chunk-Break-Em-Off-A-Chunk-CD_zpsugobnijw.jpg Here is one of my favorites from the Bay! A classic from E.P.A.'s "Chunk". Released in 1994 on Murder One Records. It features 12 dope tracks, with guest spots from super producer Sean T, Caus, D Villain, Papoose, Mob Boss, Double O, Gangsta G, and Scrib. It also features one of my all time favorite songs, track #7, "187 Skills". It is a gritty hardcore song with a classic "g-funk" beat from Sean T". This cd is almost worth buying for that song alone. The whole album is sick! Don't miss your chance to own it!
