I don’t have new things to sell on #BandcampFriday but I can add badges and sweets left over from last year’s The Felt Tips gigs to any orders of their album.
And there’s a rumour* that the code ‘omg15’ reduces prices down to the same as those that early supporters paid.
*rumour stop at midnight

Never seen this TDK before
Thought it was a knockoff as it looks cheap and the exclamation mark wasn’t a TDK thing
Apparently it’s a Japanese FE Range Cassette from 1987

The final variation of the globe was introduced on 7 July 1968 and was a variation on the watchstrap theme. The globe now spins on a black background with a white stripe below containing a black BBC1 logo. This version was used for only a few months.
