Converge Demo Self Released Cassette Music Tape Boston Hardcore Ultra Rare 1993 

This is a ultra rare Cassette of a Boston based band. Ive only seen two for sale in past 16 years and most recent one for $1500. How many are out there?  This is a numbered Demo that was self released. There were only 100 available given out to radio stations or other venues for promotional use. This tape is #18 of 100.
It's a cassette tape that they sent out to have produced (not a home-dub). It has a sticker on one side with a graffiti-style "xconvergex: boston straight edge hardcore" logo, and the song titles and the number 18/100 hand-written on the other. The songs are: Sky, Down, Exhale, Zodiac and Divinity.

The cover is a photocopy of what looks to be a dog. Its on normal white paper. The text on the inside is the lyrics and it’s not a very high quality photocopy. It does not have a date or recording studio listed but around 1993. The contact information is to Kurt Ballou and it lists an area code 617 (Boston) phone number and two addresses: one in Boston and one at (I’m assuming) his parents’ house.

CONDITION: Condition is good. Cassette is good with song sticker slightly pulling up on one corner. I played one song to test sound.  Its good and working.  It has been rewound to beginning  to protect tape. The tape holder has some wear.  It is the original one from 1993. 

 How I got this:  I am selling for the owner who has had this from 1993.  He acquired tape from his friend in the band Overcast who also DJ'ed a local radio station for Fitchburg State University in the early 1990s. The college is an hour outside of Boston and had great radio shows with lots of alt and other genres of music including a hardcore metal show. My friend sat in these radio programs often and was given the tape. His favorite band.

How this was stored: This has been in my friends collection since it was made in 1993. Has been played by him but not since the mid 1990s other than just testing it for sound quality for this listing. It has been stored in a cassette tape holder in house. Never in an attic, basement, or garage. He takes his collection seriously as a musician himself.
