AK45: Side A - Roll Out - Jump Blues and Rock

b"I'm all about the cassette tape right now. My car has a cassette player, and instead of trying to circumvent it with tape adapters and FM transmitters, I'm embracing the technology. I bought a Nakamichi DR-2 recorder and hit up the thrift stores for blank tapes. I love the process of going from vinyl, to digital, to tape. It's a great marriage of technologies, and in the end I get to hold something.\\n\\nThis mix is 30 minutes per side, perfect for a 60 minute blank tape. Dub it to tape, pop it in the car, and drive mother drive!\\n\\nOr, you can buy a cassette from me and it will be the best possible quality: straight from 48 KHz 24 Bit digital audio, through the Nakamichi, to tape. Every copy is a master! Plus it'll be super personalized n' shit.\\n\\nBut enough about the medium, onto the message: Jump Blues and Rock. The mix touches on a lot of different genres, from jump blues to 50s rock to rockabilly to garage to gospel, but if I had to peg down a common thread, I'd say it's music that MOVES. A bit about the cover picture: Careless Whisper and Kenny G likely have damaged the legitimacy of the saxophone beyond repair, but if we go back to 1948, we can see how the instrument was supposed to be played.
