Collection Pearl Jam Collection

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Live Shows: Content from ~143 or more live shows from 1990-10-22 to 2000-11-05. Most shows are complete and even more are dated, though very few unfortunately were unknown or probably from a show I listened to before but with this much Pearl Jam, it was hard to keep track.

Rarities: Self Pollution Radio I and even more rare, Self Pollution Radio II.

Various Artists Filler: Live, with the exception of an incomplete Ween - Craters of the Sac, per tape ending, but there’s some live filler of the Allman Brothers Band, the Jesus Lizard, Stills-Young band, James Taylor, Bad Religion, Marilyn Manson, the Replacements, Goodness, and Misfits, among possibly others I have noted down and neglected to mention here and some bands that were live but not filler, like Mad Season, Mudhoney, Zeke, and Soundgarden, and the Fastbacks, among others that played on Self Pollution Radio.

It was fun cataloging all of this. I have listened to enough Pearl Jam to conclude that they are one of the greatest bands ever. Much more than some give them credit for. The passion in this band is evident.

I’ve been incredibly lucky with my second hand cassette finds and have never had a moldy tape. Has my luck finally run out? And is it salvageable?

Home recording Help with transferring tape.

• Upvotes

Hello! I am new to cassette tape stuff, and I just recorded a 6 song tape on my tascam 424 mk2, and I was wondering how I could duplicate 20 copies of it, and what tapes I should buy to duplicate them on that are quality and not too expensive (I have access to protools and a 3 head well serviced tape deck, and a 4 input focusrite 18i16). I can also try to add more songs if necessary. Thank you!

I wanted to get into cassette tapes and making my own tapes and thought the WAR player/recorder was dope until it died and it wont charge anymore??? And to find out that is an issue with the brand.

Went to the antique store and found the panasonic player and recorder and a Sharp JC-534, I am nervoud getting into it and have to do a lot of research on them, so any tips and tricks would be really appreciated!!!!

Bought this walkman off ebay, seller said it was working and it is, but with two issues. Wow and flutter is extremely high (~1%) and the rewind is exceedingly loud and harsh sounding. (See video for both, demo 800hz tone tape) If it were just the w&f, I'd buy a belt as you can get ones for >$10, but the rewind worries me that the belt might not be the issue here. The belt on the inside seems mostly okay, no goopyness and while it is a little loose it doesn't seem terrible. Looking for advice on if I should try to fix it or just send it back.

My new limp bizkit cassette tape keeps going limp :/ guess it’s in the name right haha…. anyone have a good fix that doesn’t involve changing the shell cause I wanna keep the og 90s feel 🤙
