Most likely never seen in this form
is a collection of 25 varied and extraordinarily special original studio DAT recordings by Dave Stewart and/or Dave Stewart and The Spiritual Cowboys, made prior to any commercially available release.
Here is a unique opportunity to acquire a ‘one-off’ set of recordings and hence of immeasurable significance. An unusually rare slice of musical memorabilia.
These original studio master DAT cassettes containing the original compositions and many mixes are as first recorded or mixed. This collection is the only example of its kind, there are no other copies known to be available or to purchase, nor have there ever been as far as I am aware.
None of the cassettes and their recordings have been stored electronically nor have they been copied for archival or resale purposes. These are the only known absolutely 100% original copies, as made in the recording studio on, or shortly after in the case of mixes, the date they were first recorded.
They are all in excellent working order.
Original Studio DAT recordings across 25 different DAT cassettes:
- Dave Stewart
- Dave Stewart and the Spiritual Cowboys
- selection of Masters and Mixes
Condition of cassettes is mint.
