"Nouvelle Vague 2" omnibus tape featuring Meties:
https://www.mercari.com/jp/items/m88263650393
40000Y is preposterous (especially since the track has already been ripped and posted here) but collectors might want to keep an eye open for price drops.

Beware of the FAKE MALICE MIZER demo tapes on Mercari, that seller is known to sell only fakes.
My rule, as always, is that if the seller sells demotapes of japametal bands, Glay, or Lunacy, every single item they sell is fake.

How does that seller only have positive feedback? That's gonna be an expensive lesson for someone.

Well it's not like anyone's ever seen a real copy of those tapes. For all they know, they could be real. Same goes for any of the tapes people are interested in here - the best defense is usually that they're too obscure for anyone to bother with.

In this digital age, the art of fakery has presumably improved too - in the olden times you'd be getting some garbage-quality 9999th-generation tape-to-tape copy, but now I assume these guys are working off the best digital copies available.

Sweet! I can finally learn programming with Fortran! It's 70 years old; that means it's the best right?? ::meev::
If you wanna make some money money you should get on those headache inducing programming languages :grin:

Truly, he taught us more about the real world than any textbook ever could ::meev::

Yeah.....I'm not down for programming in the least, to be honest. I work in IT as a systems engineer. I barely have enough patience to deal with slow infrastructure. Trying to code with antiquated languages would kill me, or I'd off myself. Only time would tell.
