compilation produced by Chris Phinney

Music from a Divided Germany is presented here for historical, archival, educational, and non-commercial purposes. This archival issue was created by Hal McGee with the authorization of Harsh Reality label owner and compilation producer Chris Phinney.

The 94-minute compilation was transcribed to digital by Hal McGee on February 28, 2015, using Audacity, from an original cassette copy (on Maxell UR-90 Normal Bias Type I tape) given to McGee by Chris Phinney.
The two audio files are straight transcriptions of the entire sides of the 90-minute cassette. Silences at the beginnings and ends of the sides of tape are included.

Downloads are Name Your Price with a $0 minimum. This means that you can download the album for free, if you wish. If you choose to pay for the download your money will be considered a donation to enable further documentation of classic cassette art of the 1980s and 1990s.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
