Originally, this release had no official title and was commonly referred to as ‘Kill the IBM’ which was printed on the center of the cover. However, according to Lip Cream  vocalist JhaJha, who was responsible for the artwork, “The words ‘Kill The IBM’ were part of the design and were not intended to be the title.” To avoid such misunderstandings, the title has been officially named \u003cem\u003eBig Foot Cassette.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis release features an unconventional design with an EP-sized jacket came with the cassette tape. The Studio Side includes recording tracks from Shinjuku JAM Studio. The Live Side includes recordings from a live performance at Chiba Mothers on 24th of November 1984 and another live performance recorded at Shibuya Yaneura in the same year (date unknown). The content is filled with playful spirit characteristic of Lip Cream , and it is rare to hear Minoru on vocals for a Johnny Thunders cover song. According to Minoru, the reason for releasing it exclusively on cassette tape was influenced by Bad Brain's \u003cem\u003eRock For Right\u003c\/em\u003e which emerged as the cutting-edge hardcore sound of the time. However, after 40 years from recording, the original cassette tapes had deteriorated, causing a pitch speed problem (the 2008 release \u003cem\u003eThrash Til Death \u003c\/em\u003eCD’ by ONI Label includes only the Studio Side, but this is also the pre-remastered version).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThis digital remaster successfully recreates the original recording, including the pitch. Additionally, it marks the first-ever simultaneous release of an LP and CD, not just a cassette reissue. Furthermore, the ‘Manager\/Driver Wanted Flyer’ originally included in the EP-sized jacket has been reprinted. It is included as a bonus alongside the cassette release advertisement (flyer design by Naoki). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Relapse","offers":[{"title":"LP - Half Black and Half Yellow","offer_id":55801322602827,"sku":"R4543-0420","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP - Highlighter Yellow","offer_id":55801322635595,"sku":"R4543-8962","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":55801322668363,"sku":"R4543-4587","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/BIGFOOTCASSETTE.jpg?v=1761781746","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/big-foot-cassette","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
