I’ve been following this story for a long time now and I’m not seeing it.
Heavy Metal tape trading stories on the internet are not true here in Canada.
I mean how humiliating is this story…
Heavy Metal artists in the United States claim the music started from cassette tape dubs.
In Canada every one they mean were brand new originals at K-Mart and Woolco.
You needed money yeah, but I had them.
Then again on cd.
Lets jump to the stories conclusion.
In the United States the album versions they promoted were from tape dubs, mono and low fi.
These were printed on some US album versions.
Plus, LP rips sold on compact disc.
Accident or not, the cheap low quality record versions the artists promote are low quality versions based on their tape dubs, in their own words and those are their live versions they said in the documentaries.
While in Canada they had hi quality Q-tel versions at department stores.
