You have just over an hour.

PRESS PLAY ON TAPE:
"LOADING READY RUN"

Music CD with guitar rock versions of classic C64 tunes!

Track listing:

Press Play On Tape is a Danish band who travels around playing live rock versions of classic C64 tunes!! They have performed live on Danish national radio and are constantly touring around Europe, playing fantastic versions of these classic tracks to amazed audiences everywhere.

This is not a CD of recordings straight from the C64 computer. This is a band of real live musicians playing guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, giving a whole new life to the music.

Their CD is a professionally recorded and produced album with 14 of the most famous C64 music tracks.

They recently played live on stage in London in front of an audience which included Rob Hubbard, David Whittaker and Ben Daglish! The original composers had this to say about their performance:

"I never thought that 15 years later these tunes would be played live!! I am very honoured indeed!" - Rob Hubbard

"I was well impressed!" - David Whittaker

"You've captured the original perfectly!" - Ben Daglish

"Yikes!!!" - Rob Hubbard's first reaction

02. Ghosts'n Goblins (Mark Cooksey) [mp3 clip]
03. Warhawk (Rob Hubbard) [mp3 clip]
04. Monty On The Run (Rob Hubbard)

G&G on the Megadrive sounded great.

Agree with Venom. Ghouls and Ghosts did sound pretty cool, can't remember the theme tune ever being like that mind.

Their ghoul's & ghosts track sounded pretty cool, but the rest weren't so impressive.

The tetris an mario remixes are both to be found on 'Now That's What I Call Music, Volume 23'. I acutally own that tape ;)
