Mystery Hearsay "A State Of Flux" C90 Cassette (Tribe Tapes)
Mystery Hearsay / Mike Honeycutt was a major node of the 80s cassette culture network, his radio program in Memphis TN being a touchstone for home taping artists of a similar caliber to Don Campau‘s “No Pigeonholes”, RRRadio, or Schimpfluch’s “Psychic Rally”, all of which featured MH as an active participant. He also collaborated and traded extensively with the likes of Zan Hoffman (Larb), Minóy (Life Of Work), Swinebolt 45, and Agog.
Audio and video works by Mystery Hearsay were distributed primarily through his label of the same name, in addition to the Total Recess series of compilations which ran the gamut from The Haters, Ken Clinger, Blackhumour, Smell & Quim to anything in between. This tape marks a rare appearance on an outside label, a recording of a live radio performance from 1989 / 90, which was released by A State Of Flux during a transitionary period in the label’s catalog and limited to a painstakingly small release. Audio and art for this reissue has been directly sourced from the Mystery Hearsay archive collection.
