The story
The top of this tape still says “BEAUTY & THE BEAST.” On the edge, “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” has a line through it, with “Bad Boyz II” written underneath. I like the confidence of crossing out the first title while leaving another version of it right there on the tape. Which label, if either, matches the recording? I haven’t played it yet.
On the label
- BEAUTY & THE BEAST, handwritten on the broad face of the tape.
- BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, handwritten and crossed out on the edge.
- Bad Boyz II, handwritten below the crossed-out title; exact program and recording unconfirmed.
