An Autobiography (series)

 

An Autobiography: Indonesia; King’s.

Easliy identifiable from their oversize ‘heatproof safety pack’ boxes and printed BASF tapes (BASF had a factory there), King’s ‘An Autobiography’ purports to be a chronological run through the David Bowie catalogue.

Running orders are changed at random and tracks added and omitted ad hoc; if a whole album can’t be fitted onto one tape it will be continued on the next one in the series.

Printed black shell, BASF ferro super.
