About the album

Cassette sold out some time in the early 90s. Chapter Music's first release in 1992 was not strictly on Chapter Music, but was "A Chapter 24 Compilation", intended to accompany the fourth issue of Syd Barrett-inspired fanzine Chapter 24, which Chapter boss Guy Blackman began in 1990. The zine never came out but the tape did, featuring the cream of early 90s Perth lo-fi (and grunge, Manchester and shoegazing!) with bands like Mustang!, Yummy Fur, the Wooden Fische and Benji. It was a humble beginning to the label, but a beginning nonetheless.
