Description
HERE WE HAVE AN ORIGINAL CASSETTE TAPE OF BECK'S SELF PRODUCED DEMO "DON'T GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE" FROM 1992. ONLY BECK HIMSELF KNOWS HOW MANY HE MADE OF THEM BUT IT WAS A VERY LIMITED NUMBER AND THEY WERE MEANT FOR HIS FRIENDS AND PEOPLE HE FIGURED COULD GET THEM TO SOMEONE AT A RECORD LABEL. BECK GAVE THIS CASSETTE TO ME AT THE SUNSET JUNCTION STREET FAIR IN 1992 BECAUSE WE WERE FRIENDS BACK THEN. I STATE THIS AGAIN TO EMPHASIZE IT: BECK HIMSELF GAVE THIS TO ME IN 1992. I FIRST MET BECK AT A PLACE CALLED THE ONYX CAFE WHERE WE USED TO HANG OUT. HE BECAME FAMOUS AND I'VE ONLY RUN INTO HIM A FEW TIMES SINCE THEN. I LISTENED TO THIS TAPE BACK IN 1992 A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEN PUT IT AWAY FOR YEARS. SINCE THEN I HAVE PLAYED IT VERY FEW TIMES BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE A CHANCE ON IT GETTING RUINED OR EATEN BY THE PLAYER. AS FAR AS AUTHENTICITY GOES, ONLY BECK HIMSELF CAN BACK ME UP ON THIS, IF YOU CAN GET IT TO HIM, HE'LL VOUCH FOR IT SINCE IT'S THE REAL DEAL. O.K., CONDITION: THE CASSETTE BOX IS THE ORIGINAL ONE IT CAME IN SO ITS SCRAPED AND SCRATCHED BUT NOT BROKEN OR CRACKED. THE COVER IS SCISSOR CUT FROM A SHEET OF CARD STOCK AND IS SLIGHTLY YELLOW WITH AGE, ESPECIALLY WHERE IT IS FOLDED. THE STICKERS ON THE CASSETTE THAT INDICATE THE SIDE ARE HANDWRITTEN IN BALLPPOINT PEN. THE TAPE IN THE CASSETTE HAS NEVER JAMMED AND IS NOT TWEAKED OR BROKEN. LAST TIME I LISTENED TO IT, IT SOUNDED FINE. I CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCES OF THE SONGS, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I LISTENED TO IT BUT I LIKED IT WHENEVER I DID LISTEN TO IT. IF YOU CHECK INTO BECK'S DISCOGRAPHY ON WIKIPEDIA YOU CAN FIND OUT A FEW MORE THINGS ABOUT THIS ITEM. ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND I WILL ANSWER THEM. THANKS FOR LOOKING
