This blog is mostly dormant. I still review occasional cassettes and zines. Why The Tapes Play Records was a cottage industry indie music label releasing very limited run cassettes, & cds. The label is on hiatus as of 2020, as much of our lives has been on hold and focused on matters of heart, survival, and spiritual nurturance. Why The Tapes Play may return in the future.

Zine Review: 45 Jive #5
Full disclosure: I'm a record geek and most of all I love those 7 inch vinyl "45's" ... so when I heard about this zine it was imperative that I take a look. 45 Jive #5 (great rhyme!) includes an essay on 1960's songwriter Ellie Greenwich, reviews of obscure 45s from back in the day, a spotlight on early Motown tunes and an essay on one of my personal favorite guitarists of all time, Gabor Szabo. Music zines that turn you on to new sounds are a delight to discover, and this slim zine edited by Tuna is well worth seeking out. For more information email amoeba45jive@yahoo.com.
Here's a tune I discovered through the zine! Electric Garden by Dawn Chorus.
