All Our Cassette Tapes So Far

Every ESP-Disk'/Personal Affair Cassette Tape So Far

When cassette tape label Personal Affair approached ESP-Disk'  about issuing some of our classic titles on that format, how could we say no? Personal Affair editions are gorgeous. The reissues have ESP's vintage LP covers on the J-card, but a limited quantity of each album comes with a wrap-around sleeve (which helps protect the plastic case) featuring beautiful abstract art by Mari Ayabe.
