DO YOU LIKE TAPES?!

I recently was gifted about 5 big boxes of cassette tapes from 2 different strangers, I listed them all on the Related Records discogs store, but then when I went to put them away I realized I didn't have room for all of them, so I went back through all my tapes on discogs (and lowered the price on a bunch of stuff.) and took all the tapes off that were listed for a $1-$2 and put them in some boxes for sale on here. Check them out below, this is a great way to discover new music, or do an art project or if you want to recycle some old tapes to make mixes for friends or something. I am posting about it in this newsletter first and if there are any left over by the end of the weekend, I'll post the remaining ones on instagram​.

By the way, all of these cassette boxes, I am including at least 1 Related Records tape that is equal to or higher than the value of the box of random tapes you're buying.

DO YOU LIKE SKA?

I recently wrote a review on the Related Records Instagram​ about Aaron Carnes new book "In Defense of Ska" which officially comes out on May 4th. AND I got some copies to sell on the Related Records store. Honestly, this book is just so much fun to read, even if you don't like ska music... you will love it. If you order one of these books from Related Records, it wont ship until May 3rd or 4th.

DO YOU LIKE SKA MIX TAPES?

On the next Bandcamp Friday (May 7th) I will be offering a special 90 minute Ska Mix tape I made for Quintron. Limited edition of 15 copies and already 3-4 of them are accounted for so, i'm not sure how many I will have available on May 7th, but it will only be available for purchase that weekend and then its coming down, if you are one of the people who gets the mix tape you will also have the download for life. but this isn't an official Related Records release and I didn't get permission from any of the artists to do this so...uhhhh... yeah.  Keep your eyes open for this on bandcamp​. Make sure you are following Related Records on bandcamp to be notified as soon it drops, if you want to secure yourself a copy..
