Not too sure, but looks good. Almost looks unofficial, I tried googling GMR records but nothing came up.

It makes you wonder why they went to all the effort to make it look official, yet record it from a scratched vinyl record. Very odd indeed. I take it you meant crackling not skipping. Why didn't they at least record it on a system that was from a CD.

As far as I know, those tapes are from Asia, places like India, Arabia-Saudi and are bootlegs. I'm thinking that's like those Russian records from radiographs, don't know if rock music was illegal, but for me makes sense those tapes were recorded straight from a vinyl.

Thats quite shocking, especially as they done such a great job of the cassette actual physical product. It begs the question why they would do such a poor audio representation. And especially as it brags quality recording on the front cover. Extremely odd! 🤔

I recorded the CD onto it instead of having a Vinyl rip and it sounds great now. Lol

Yeah and also the tape is shorter than the actual album so at the end of each side of the tape, I had to fade the recording to make it sound deliberate, at least I have the remastered album on cassette now.
Also strange that the tracks aren't in the order that they should be, I programmed the CD in the order of the tape.

The only GMR I can find is Global Music Rights but I doubt it's them.
Interesting that's it's got "1981" plastered on it suggesting it wasn't created when the album was released.
Bit of a curiosity really 👍

Whats even more weird, is altering the track sequence when using a vinyl record must have been a pain to get right. And I can't imagine the end of Mountain Lady blending into Enough is Enough, thats a travesty right there lol 🤔
