Trance Port Tapes

This is the original incarnation of the Trance Port label established in the early 80s by A Produce for a series of cassette-only releases to document what he termed "the growing trance music scene" in the Los Angeles area, although the tapes by Randall Kennedy and Timothy Leary are both primarily spoken word. All releases came packaged in a distinctive fold out cardboard sleeve, (created by Independent Projects), with individual edition numbers stamped on them, and inserts with release notes enclosed. Nine releases were produced between 1983 and 1984. In a licence agreement with swiss cassette label Calypso Now the whole catalogue was released in Europe. Packages were sent from US, numbered, and also original labels were used. The Calypso Now releases are distinguished by the use of chrome cassettes, whereas the american releases were on normal ferro tapes. Unfortunately the box with covers and labels were destroyed at some time by fire, so the tapes were not available any more since the 90's.
