The fifth issue of ISC compilations
Over the course of time i will be posting all the issues of ISC compilation tapes in mp3 form, with printable covers etc, this will take me some time because there are 15 in all, spanning from 1984 until 1989 approx, it was my intention since i got a MySpace site to redo all of these tapes as they document a largely unheard of music scene that was mostly happening in small studio’s bedrooms and garages across the world, we communicated and we created music for ourselves and others, with our only source of advertisement being self-produced leaflets sent out in the mail.
ISC was part of the Cassette Culture and Mail Art movement of the late 70′s and 80′s, please have a look at the ABOUT tag to read more or go direct to the Wiki link, if anyone knows or is the person who wrote the Wiki article and would like to get in touch i would like to hear from them, cheers and thanx.

Nice Job bringing this to peoples attention..That was a very creative and frutfull time and I think we all learned that we could publish our own music (no matter what that may be) and not have to rely on mainstream sources.On your blog you said I was music teacher, I am a music teacher and songwriter and performer.

Not only are you a landmark musician in the UK, your ISC series are crucial and essentail pieces of underground music history. You’re going to the Home Tapers Hall Of Fame Andy.
