I made my own Ultraviolence cassette with a reversible cover, cardboard sleeve and bonus tracks. Really happy with how it turned out.

DAMN. This is so amazing! You have a real gift - don’t stop creating masterpieces like this! 

Thank you! I plan on making albums of unreleased tracks. That'll be a bit more work deciding the tracks and sequencing.

Thanks for the kind words.

The Neil Krug shoots on the wiki gave me so much inspiration

This is gorgeous  I also want one now lol

I'm sure selling them would be legally dubious, but I think if you think of it like friends sharing a very elaborate and specific mix tape... lol

genuinely, really nicely done. i love the fact you split the booklet into contrasting themes!

There was a lot of material to work with, I was worried I'd be paralyzed by choice, but when I found the pool shoot, it came together like a puzzle

Appreciate it! They're the best, I've always loved albums with pamphlets in them. Vinyl for the same reason, but when it's little like this and plays music just as well, it's something special.

how do you print the paper and it doesn't look crappy like what printer do you use (and what paper)

also it looks amazing wow

So, I went to Officeworks (Australian Staples) and had them print them. The cardboard sleeve is 300gsm matte card stock and the album cover is 140gsm glossy pamphlet paper. Their printers took care of the rest.

I dont understand why Your girl wasnt at least UVs bonus track

Really nicely done! Did you have choices for the color of the cassette  ?

This was literally just a blank tape I had that was long enough for the album. I'm going to remove the original labelling. But I also might order a custom tape from a service here that makes up blank tapes. So yeah, I can make it whatever really. I was thinking a. Deep translucent red or blue would look great.

When I realised I had time at the end of the tape I immediately put it on there.

That’s cool! blue would fit most I’d say, but red also given the original cover for uv had red letters. 
 

Love how clean it looks already!!!

Exciting development. They have tapes that are reactive to UV light.

So it could be this:

 

Or the red or blue below

Absolutely. Please do. I can send you the pdfs. They will print at the right size and everything. If you wanted to add your own bonus songs or remove songs I can take or add whatever you want.

I’d love that! I like that you added Your Girl to the tracklist, but did it leak in HQ? Otherwise I’d replace it with Riverside

I just can't believe people are talking about OFFICEWORKS on here. I love it. The  influx of Australian fans rn. 

 

I don't really do cassettes but this is so bloody beautiful - if I did dig them I would be making one of my own. Great job!!
