Greetings, all! I doubt anyone will be able to ID today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes -- not much is showing. Still ... any guesses? Two clues: It's Australian and from 1985.

Listener Bob in PGH:

Looking forward to the show as always. Unfortunately I have a conference call during the second hour. Curses! My colleagues must not know that it's a Tape Hiss week!

OK< Tape Hiss Tuesday. Hello, Tony, LBiPGH.

Somehow I'm guessing it's NOT a Midnight Oil LP! ;)

or INXS

Hunters & Collectors?

Hey, hey, hey, Sem, Dean, & Yvang!

Tony Coulter:

Forgot to mention: both sides start with brief clips from movies or TV shows.
Avatar 12:11pm
Tony Coulter:

Nope, nope, nope: It's not Midnight Oil, INXS or Hunters & Collectors. It's way more obscure. I'm pretty sure no one will know it ... so ... I'll just give the secret away. It's by the Screaming Believers, and is called "Communist Mutants From Space"://www.discogs.com...
Avatar 12:23pm
Tony Coulter:

The next track, by Colourbox, is screwy -- one channel drops out for a minute or so ... but do not be alarmed ... it's not the sound of my poor cassette deck dying.
Avatar 12:32pm
Tony Coulter:

As someone pointed out to me, the cover of this tape was probably inspired by Joy Division's "Closer": www.discogs.com...
  12:40pm
Dean:

Honest to gosh, I was going to make that point myself.
Avatar 12:43pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, I guess it's pretty clear once you think of it.

WR:

Hi Tony, interesting sounds. Unfortunately will be in phone meetings for the next two hours, so will be low volume background listening. Better than not hearing at all. Laters.

Tony Coulter:

Later, WR!

Dean:

Geez, we sure were into brooding back in the '80s.

Yeah, well today is sort of the special goth-y edition of Tape Hiss. Just wait for the next tape.

Lunch break, volume up! Has been interesting. Hear Joy Division influences in this and previous tape. Even the cover.
Avatar 1:36pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, the cover of "Dreams and Desires" is definitely reminiscent of "Closer"!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:38pm
Yvang:

I've never heard this song even though it sounds strangely familiar
Avatar 1:39pm
Tony Coulter:

Maybe you've heard it in your dreams ... or should that be nightmares.
  1:42pm
Dean:

Even the title Dreams and Desires faintly echoes Unknown Pleasures.

Happy to have been along for these cassettes, crazy good. Thx, TC.

You're welcome, Sem! There's one more to go after this one (another comp).

Missed when you introduced this last tape. A variety of performers. What tied them together into this tape?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm
Doug Schulkind:

I've gotta get ready for a work thing. Thanks for the entertainments, Tony!
Avatar 2:22pm
Tony Coulter:

@ WR: It's just a comp, not some kind of collaborative project or themed thing. It was put together by one of the members of Stratis, I believe. So, just stuff he liked, I guess....

Tony Coulter:

See you, Doug! Good working....

Any clue on the sources for the comp? Asking for a friend. LOL.

Webhamster Henry:

I'm out of meetings and am available, pencil at the ready!
Avatar 2:43pm
Tony Coulter:

@ WR: I think the compiler just solicited submissions. Don't think most (or any) of these tracks appeared elsewhere.
Avatar 2:46pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, hey, Henry! Careful not to poke yourself. I still have a bit of a pencil point imbedded in one of my thighs, which has been there ever since I accidentally stabbed myself with a pencil when I was a kid. Fortunately, that was post–lead pencils.
Avatar 2:48pm
Tony Coulter:

@ WR: Or were you asking where one could find the comp these days? If so, discogs is probably about it: www.discogs.com...

Years ago I found a single by Port Said (on now) lying on the sidewalk, on Union St. in Park Slope.

There are Casios in Port Said, apparently.

Thank you for the replies Tony. Didn't realize that the tape would be listed on discogs. Thanks for the show today.

And, ps, was looking for info, not how to get copy of the tape. Thank you!
