Dear Marek,
As you would expect, I also spent a few hours yesterday looking for your elusive source LP.
No luck either, although the 7 titles are on this 2-LP set:

Like you, I suspect that it could have come from an obscure 'cheap label' LP.
But not listed by Discogs or on the internet, that I could find.

Steve's Voce is spot-on regarding cassette collections and discographies. Not many include them. 
Listmate Jack Mitchell (Australian Jazz On Record)  is one of the rare ones.
However, as a matter of interest I received the following from Discogs last week:

Apparently, cassettes are now collectables.
Cheers,
Bill.
