Have got a few of the Melted Icecream output and I am looking at the Trace/Untrace discography at the moment. Interesting that Stebbings is still active in this media. Gotta love a good tape.
When I replaced my old Subaru a few years back, I looked at a Mazda3 that had a factory tapedeck, was almost the clincher, but you couldn't fit three fadges in the back, the Fielder won out. We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Had to Google “fadge” it’s either a loaf of bread made with potatoes, or a small bail of wool! I guess the latter for you, Papa?

Heard this this afternoon and thought who are Melted Icecream, and why has an overseas buyer got more of them than the band!?

Fadge ? Fridge ?
 I bought the Ludus tape but it wasn't hi-bias as in your screencap, just regular brown ferric oxide tape, Sounds OK but the tape sheds

Fadge - indeed it is a small bale of wool, or in this case, a heap of garden waste put into a wool bale.
Melted Ice Cream are perhaps my favourite of the indie labels. I have bought a few tapes from them via bandcamp. We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
