BCT14 - Tropical Viruses #1

by Borderless Countries Tapes

about

Hello Everyone,
I have been remastering these BCT tapes for you diligently, with the greatest care, out of my love for 80's hardcore punk. All of the original master tapes have been lost, so for these releases I'm reconstructing the BCTs from a variety of sources, using the best quality source I can find for each song, and then applying light remastering when necessary. My prime objective is to keep the raw quality and energy of all of the recordings, while making the sound quality the very best I can.

I have been doing this with the co-operation of Chris BCT. Unfortunately, Chris has informed me that, unbeknownst to him at the time, these Tropical Viruses tapes should never have been released.

As I'm sure most of you know, the BCTs were put together by soliciting demo tapes and 7"s in the Maximum Rocknroll zine. As a result, all of the music included on BCTs was sent in by the artists themselves, therefore making these releases official.

Except for Tropical Viruses. Tropical Viruses was compiled by somebody else, and was sent to Chris without the permission of the artists on it. There's know way that Chris could have known at the time, but in the early 2000's he was asked to stop distributing it. Therefore, unless the owner of the material contacts us to give us permission, we will not be posting them for listening, sale or download here.

The good news is, all of the music on these Tropical Viruses tapes is on YouTube.

Chris and I would like to thank you for your understanding, and for your loyal support. The fact that so many people listen to these Bandcamp releases is what makes the project worth it for me.

If you are the owner of this music and would like to give us permission, or if you are a fan who has a copy of some of the songs from the other BCTs which is better quality than what is currently posted here that you would like to contribute, or if you just want to say hi, please email us at:
borderlesscountriestapes@protonmail.com

Thank you.
