Cause And Effect
January 1985 Cassette Catalog
including the Aural Sampler cassette
Listen to samples of cassettes in the catalog, below. Listen as you read the catalog, either by clicking on the catalog pages one by one or pausing the slideshow.
"This aural sampler contains a 30-second excerpt from every cassette listed in the January 1985 catalogue. They follow left to right, top to bottom."
Cause And Effect offered a sampler cassette with every catalog that we published. The CAE January 1985 Aural Sampler cassette contained 30-second excerpts from all 114 tapes in the catalog so that prospective buyers could get a foretaste of what the cassettes in the catalog sounded like. These samples prefigured the use of listen-before-you-buy streaming samples by 21st century sites such as Amazon.

- View the January 1985 CAE Catalog on one big page - with large format pics of the catalog pages for greater readability
- View the January 1985 CAE Aural Sampler cassette artwork and covers here.
- You can stream the album and download the audio at Bandcamp (complete with zipped sampler tape artwork).

Bear in mind that you are hearing samples that were on a master tape prepared by Debbie Jaffe with extractions from the tape copies that we distributed, so the sounds here are likely third or fourth generation. These aural sampler cassettes are offered as historical documents and are not intended as faithful representations of the original music on the cassette releases themselves. Having said that, these samples sound damn good!
