DD. Records

Japanese industrial and avantgarde label active during the 1980s and run by T. Kamada.

DD Records Cassettes
(Japan, 1980-1985)

In many ways, DD Records was done in the spirit of, and at times sounded like some of the works released by Bain Total, Illusion Productions and Ptose Productions from France + YHR (UK) and Transmitter label (Germany). DDR was done with a very Japanese avant-cultural mindset however that was / is still today non-European in many ways, thus indescribable to some extent.

Each cassette came with photocopied printed matter (dimensions are ca.DIN B5 = 18,2 x 25,7 cm), photocopied cassette art insert, and was duplicated in real time, exclusively as aspecial order for only 1 retail outlet outside of Japan in the USA.
