Let’s keep the wayback machine going this weekend. This is a tape that I got off Ebay a couple years ago and now that the good umatic machine is fixed, it was finally time to digitize. I would assume that it is a master since there were pretty much no Umatic traders. In fact, I have never seen a umatic dubbed tape. This one has some smearing and some shadows, which could mean that it is a copy but I just think that was 1970s tech back then. Where else are you going to find this anyway?
Davis/Ryder was an early punk band who put out a 7″ on Monongo records in 1979 and the “B” side- Nasty Secretary- was their most popular song. Both Joy and Avis have passed away.
Pretty cool time capsule.
