Dear Marek,
I do not collect tapes, but have 100s of them, uncatalogued.
I have, over the years, replaced LPs with CDs as we have a space problem in our little inner-Sydney terrace house.
(Overflow short-term storage space is the boot of my car.)

The Stash CD also provides the following personnel and solo details for each tune:
