Ahh, okay. That's really confusing, though. No artwork at all? I thought cassette version of Closes was a real commercial release (albeit a very limited one), given there were 100 copies made. It must've at least had the title & bandname written on it somewhere, right?

Makes me sad every time a thread comes up about releases that deep down I feel we'll never get to hear. I know the brother's probably don't want us hearing it, but realising that doesn't stop me seriously longing for a copy of Hooper Bay.
I completely agree. I love BOC because of the eerie, ambivalent nostalgia they bring out in their music, and for me R35TT and the Old Tunes have a lot more of that than their other albums.

In fairness, disregarding the thoughts of men is a very rewarding pastime.
