Tower 1 Bonfire Mixtape is an actual cassette tape with a Side A and a Side B. There's also a digital version you can download. The digital version is a lossless rip of cassette #002.
Side A features three previously released Surf Tapes singles -- The London Times, Birds, and Through // Screens. While I didn't run the mix down as hot as some of the guys in the 90s would have... I did heavily saturate the masters and run the tape bounce pretty hot.
Side B features three songs that you probably haven't heard before. East of Valhalla, Saint Thomas Street, and Curves. I read in a forum once that there's nothing better than the sound of a man singing into a bottle of whiskey on a tape. While there wasn't exactly any liquor involved in the recording of this... that should give you an idea of what Side B is all about.
This won't be released on any of the streaming platforms.
Every cassette includes a dollar bill. The serial number on the bill serves as the certificate of authenticity for each tape. A list of tape numbers and matching serial numbers has been published on the Surf Tapes Instagram @surftapesmusic.
