“Pleasure” the complete cassette from 1989

Archived to YouTube by Soft Antagonism

(1989) Zonic Shockum – Pleasure. I work at a record store and found a box of late 80’s/early 90’s demo and promo tapes in the back (most of which had little to no info online). Got in contact with the guy who made this one and he gave me his blessing to digitize it and upload to YouTube. from ObscureMedia

ZONIC SHOCKUM - "Pleasure" review in Missing Link Cassette Catalogue — *Listing from Missing Link Cassette Mailorder Catalog 1990*

Zwei Tapes des Amerikaners STEPHEN ANDERSON, wobei er auf dem ersten hauptsächlich seine Gitarre in wundersam shräger Weise zum Novizen bringt, und auf dem zweiten mit einer richtigen Band und einer der frühen GRACE SLICK ähnlichen Sängerin unter so netten Titeln wie LEGO MY EGO zwar einen Gang zurückschaltet, aber immer noch die hypnotische Sage bearbeitet. Kaputt, aber gut! — Review of first two Zonic Shockum cassettes from German music magazine **Zap**
