CASSETTE LABEL
“We made our tapes one by one directly copying from the master reel to reel tape and we distributed them through the cassette scene postal network of the early 80s. We definitely were only interested in sounding original.”
Photographic project documenting Quick Stab Music Products cassette tape collection.
Robert Lawrence
was the driver behind the cassette label Quick Stab Music Products. I collected tapes the label produced from 1980
until it was wound up in May 1983.
Alongside photographs of the cassettes and graphics there are notes on meeting and working with Robert Lawrence. There are also two Paul Shorthouse interviews by Robert Lawrence from 1980 and 1982. In addition there are texts by Robert explaining the process of recording.
Mark Andrew Philips founder of MAP TAPES had a strong presence on Quick Stab recordings. Rob and Mark eventually formed the singular 5XOD which I have also documented from my collection.
