FAQs

Where Do You Get All of These Tapes?

The picture above is my own collection, which will make it on here someday. For now, I am mainly helping someone that is selling his collection of tapes that he bought from a person that used to run a magazine back in the day. I digitize tapes for him so that he can use those files to promote his sales. I usually don’t keep anything you see here – it all gets sent back. Look for them on eBay if you really want to own them.

But occasionally there are other sources. Sometimes I find stuff online. Sometimes I buys stuff. Other times people send me stuff they want me to write about. Other times people will trade me for stuff on my want list. I often forget to note which tape falls into which category. Sorry about that for those that send me stuff.

Where is Your Music Player?

I don’t have one. Sometimes if I find songs on YouTube already, I will add them here. If you find some I miss, let me know by commenting on the entry. I wish I had more time to post more on YouTube, but I don’t. That also might affect the later sales of the tapes.

Can I Get a Copy of the Tape You Post Here?

I really wish I could share more of the music I post here, I really do. But since many of these tapes are being sold, I can’t undercut those sales by giving away mp3s to everyone. It was part of the conditions for getting the tapes and all. Plus, I just wouldn’t have time to send files to everyone that is asking. It takes all of my free time to keep this site going, and I am waaaay behind on that.

The one exception to that is if you have something off my Want List, I can make time to do a trade.

But Really, Why Can’t You Make an Exception Just For Me This One Time To Get Me the Music?

I really would like to, but I also don’t approve of most comments asking for music. Its a lot. Trust me.

But I Used To Be in a Band You Posted About. Can I Have a Copy of My Music?

Sure, I always make and exceptions for people in the band. Let me know and I can arrange to get you the music. However, I might have to track down who the files ended up with, as I don’t keep archives of everything. Its usually best to ask within a few weeks or less of me posting.

How Can You Like/Hate This Tape That I Hate/Love?

Sorry – just because I like something, that doesn’t mean it is good. Or just because I don’t like something, it doesn’t mean it is bad.  I make quick notes based on what I hear listening through the digitized files once or twice. Sorry I don’t have time for a deeper listen.

Why Is a Non-Christian Band on This Site? Or a Band That Later Stopped Being Christian?

I’m not hear to play salvation police. This site covers an old scene from decades ago. Many, many minds have changed since them. Some were probably even trying to pretend to be Christian just due to the impression that it was easier to “make it” in the CCM world. Not really my place to judge. If the band said something definitive later, then sure I will take their word for it. But that doesn’t change the fact that they were a part of this “scene” back in the day (one that I wasn’t a part of FYI – just one that fascinates me based on its history and impact).

Why is My Name or Other Information Misspelled on This Website?

My apologies for any typos – again, time constraints means I am moving pretty fast with all of this, so mistakes happen. Please feel free to comment and correct me – it won’t hurt my feelings as long as you don’t let yours get hurt over an honest mistake.

Why Do You Have Some Wrong Information About What Really Happened Back in the Day? I Have the Real Story?

Please feel free to comment. I sometimes read about events in old magazines. Those stories are probably only from one side of the event. Please feel free to tell us yours. Or add more information that others might be interested in. The comments are open to share as much as you would like.
