"Chances of finding this is basically next to impossible".
This is what Blame actually wrote on the discogs page of his first album, released in 1997.
Until recently it was indeed a pretty well kept secret, traces on the internet of it were almost non-existent. I recently had the chance to purchase one though, completely by hasard.
I was interested in buying a tape by a member of the same crew (Mystery's Extinction). The seller had bought a couple of tapes from that crew during a show in the Seattle area back in the days.
That Blame tape wasn't even in his list of items for sale though.
So when I received that other tape I bought, I quickly realized the cassette itself didn't match the tracklist, but at the beginning of the tape it said "...tales from the polish pub", which lead me to the realization that what I had indeed in my posession was that elusive Blame album.
Later, the seller confirmed that it was, indeed, "Tales", that it was accidentally stored in the wrong case, and sent the cover to me as well... Some real karma score right there!
I ignore why it wasn't reissued later, since it's pretty solid. It contains all the tracks from his first vinyl EP and it's good all the way through. I added a track at the end that I spotted on youtube called "track 16 from Tales from the Polish Pub". It's not actually on my tape.
Enjoy!
