That's RX 90 compact cassette

Note, I know there's already one here, but this shows the sticker and of course from the handwriting that it was made for me by Jas Toomer.

 

I think he made this for me in 1989 to replace a previous Big Black compilation he gave me in 1988 when we worked in a flower-packing factory in South Lincolnshire (my other That's RX 90s are from 1989 I reckon).

 

I love it that he included a little arrow to make sure "Burning Indian Wife" was understood as one title :D

 

This is also an interesting example of the role cassettes played in discovering music. I had "Atomiser" and "Songs About Knitting" (to quote John Peel) on vinyl, and would play them on vinyl. But I never had any of this stuff on vinyl (although my brother bought Il Duce as a 7") and this is like a different band in many ways. Hard to explain really but I think a lot of cassette fans would know what I am talking about.
