Rachel’s Tape Trades



Ok, so a new-found love I have is for tape trading. I love going to shows, and I love music, so when I can’t go see a show, my next alternative is a concert bootleg. My boot collection is growing rapidly, and I want to share it (and also get more stuff in return :-) ).

So, if you wanna trade, here are my rules:

1.) All trades must be done on a high bias (type II) tape (unless you let me know otherwise), preferably Maxell
2.) I’ll do 2:1’s (I’ll record one tape, you send me two blanks) in extenuating circumstances ONLY. I’d do it if you really want a tape that I have, but have nothing to trade (I’ll even take a mix tape of your favorite music, or something similar)
3.) J-Cards should be typed, and tape cases included

What I Want


I will trade for anyone on my list! I’m really looking for tapes with The Nields apocrypha songs (songs which don’t appear on any albums) on them!!! Plus, I’d also be interested in DAR WILLIAMS boots. As I said before, I’d be willing to trade for a mix of your favorite music if you have nothing to trade, but really want one of these tapes.

Email Me At REFolkgirl@operamail.com for all tape stuff (offers, questions, etc) 1
