Normal Tapes

Normal Tapes was a series of 18 cassettes to promote not so much known official releases that have been for sale in the Normal shops in Cologne and in Bonn as well as via mailorder. Every tape corresponds with a supplementary catalogue published between 1983-1987. There have been 3 different cover versions with none of them belonging to a specific issue. Tape source was a Sony HF 60, tapes 1-13 have been labelled whereas tapes 14-18 have been pure Sony cassettes (as well as later copies from tapes 1-13). Very early releases of tapes 1-6 have been issued without covers/labels. Normal Tapes have been called Probiertapes or Probierkassetten as well.
