    That’s the cheap kind that ruined your heads. The good head cleaner had a little hole near the spool to drip isopropyl alcohol onto the cleaning tape.

    Got their CD when it first came out. The weirdest track ran along a ring of little brush tufts coming out of the CD surface. This band had some serious experimentalism happening.

    This was the good kind. The gear moved the head cleaner back and forth like a brush.

    VCR Head Cleaner is great, but you’ve got to get it from the adult shop. Definitely get you open to bangin’ tunes!

    From what I recall Play Both Sides was their only album, but virtually everyone had a copy so they must have been pretty good!

    Kind of sucks that my Commodore 1541 floppy drive (5.25" floppies) is giving me read/write errors, and I have no idea where I put my head cleaner floppy long ago. (Have to rely on SD2IEC on my Commodore 64, and it’s not compatible with some turbo loaders or other programs that do weird drive magic.) And, of course, while I might run into head cleaner tapes on specialty shops, good luck running into 5.25" cleaner floppies these days.
