about

Radio Slaves was originally issued as a limited edition cassette (150 copies) on the Medicinal Tapes label out of Pantin, France. In 2000, it was re-issued on CDr by the Generator Sound Art label. This is the CD version released on Monochrome Vision out of Russia (RIP Dmitry). Of the bonus tracks included here: "A Condensed History of Religion" and "Accident Free Households" were originally released on "Loopy But Chic - Harsh Blend" on Alain Neffe's Insane Music label as part of the "Home-Made Music For Home-Made People" series, Vol. 4. I think "Screwed It Up Again" was also recorded for one of Insane Music's compilations but I cannot be sure. And at this time I have no idea where "Extremely Dangerous" was originally released. All these compilation tracks were released at one time on Luis Mesa's label - IEP (EP116). Someone wanted me to call this tape "I Stole the Title of This Tape From If, Bwana", so that is what is called. The bonus tracks were probably recorded between 1984 and 1986. As the brain goes (or as I cannot find the documentation) it is hard to be more specific on the dating of the works.
