KRINGLOOP KASSETTES LABEL REVIEW Part 1/2

KRINGLOOP KASSETTES LABEL REVIEW Part 1/2

Kringloop Kassettes is the latest project by Frans de Waard, and it’s already a success because all hard copies of all releases so far are already sold out. But please take notice that this ISN’T GONNA STOP ME FROM REVIEWING IT !!! Because holy shit, it’s sold old for a reason, and yes, there are 26 lucky people in the world, but the rest of you can still go digital.

A bit about the background: Kringloop Kassettes is a limited edition cassette label. Everything in editions of 26, lettered from A to Z. As for now, there are six releases, of which I’ll review three this week and three next week. All cassettes originated from a thrift shop and have been reused as much as possible in their original form. So, stickers and labels are left intentionally to make it all look used. Kringloop is Dutch for Recycle and loop with cassettes, well, I don’t need to write out that connection now, or do I?

The artwork is fully in sync with the recycling idea. Recycled paper and rubber stamps are used, and as you can expect, not all releases look the same. This is beautiful and something Frans has practised more often with his Modelbau project.

So, there are three reviews now and three reviews next week. Let’s do this! There is no better moment to write about recycling than Easter Weekend !!!
