So there's a CD rip now?
What was the cassette rip that SamaAmDJ shared back last March?
Was this release originally a cassette, or tape, or both?

I'm confused! But this is still amazing news, obviously. :D

Originally a cassette release, that was later burnt to a handful of CD's seems to be the case.

The original Boc Maxima DAT was used to produce some cassettes originally in 1996 and then was used to produce CDs several years later, in 1998 or 1999. There were only a handful of CDs produced (in the single digits) so this is a very rare thing to have surface!

The lore is so fun and amazing. It was defiantly a nice surprise and I've been listening to it quite a bit. It's so crispy on headphones. <3

Thank you, much appreciated!
I probably should have just looked it up on bocpages.org.

Which one sounds better though, tape or CDr? FIGHT!
