Vocals on "postcard from caïro" and "kiss me quick" by Tonny Timmermans (aka Antonia)

The track "happy birthday" (A3) is not mention on the J-card. That was forgotten to do at the time.

Limited edition of 50 (hand numbered) ice white cassette tapes with (a copy of the) original J-card

“When I went solo in 1983 I only had a guitar, a bass and a four track cassette tape recorder. Sometimes I borrowed a rithmebox or a synth for a couple of days. These solo cassette tapes were created in that period.” (MK)

Music journalist Oscar Smit described these tapes in the 80s - in his column Dolby of the legendary Dutch magazine Vinyl - s.a.: “Big city music, metropolis beat, drum composers, funking basses, nervous rhythm guitars, radio and TV sounds in the background and intonationless vocals.”

Menko Konings was also the founder s.a. of S.M. Nurse, Plastic Cocon, No Honey From These and Top Tape. More info:
