The Stock Tape

The Spirit of the Golden Twenties is with us even a hundred years later and is still captivating people with flair and esprit from New York to Shanghai. But with prohibition, the stock market crash, flapper-girls and boisterous charleston dancing - the 2020s were a time of radical changes, too. Tape Five was already looking forward to chilled sounds in a sunny future, but with the sign of our times pointing to either "dancing on the volcano" or the swansong of civilization as we know it - we decided it was better to deliver a rousing party album! Tape Five, founded in 2003 by master-mind Martin Strathausen (favorite quote:"I did it my way"), have already navigated their way through many facettes of vintage/retro music, and since 2010 have been making a name for themselves as "pioneers of electroswing".

This re-issue of the 2007 album Reformation Post TLC comes with two bonus discs of demos, early rough mixes and alternate versions, as well as a fourth disc; the Live at Hammersmith Palais album – as with the other Fall reissues these have notes by Fall guru Daryl Easlea and have been mastered by long time engineer Andy Pearce.
