there is no date on the tape, but judging from its contents, i would guess that it was made around '92... or maybe '93, because isn't that when the godawful meatloaf cd "back to hell" came out? the mix itself is on one of those very early 90s memorex tapes, the ones with blue, yellow, and hot pink on the cassette. the handwriting on the insert is very careful. was it a plea to a would-be lover? was it appreciated? or did the intended balk (as i did) at the inclusion of something from "beauty and the beast"? was it love, and then did it fall apart? so many mysteries.
