What the hell am I looking at?? Why is everything like that? Why is there red? Why is it curved on the edges of the design? Why is the design cut in half? Why are there 2 logos? Why does the top logo go into the edges for no apparent reason?
That’s really interesting though. Great score for that unique piece lol
Yeah, many of the Polish bootleg cassettes in the early 90s looked somewhat like this. Original cover was shown in a small square-shaped frame above band name & album in regular typing. This preserved the proportions of the original vinyl album covers (at the cost of size) and may have helped identifying obscure band names for new fans who had been behind the iron curtain, but of course it took away from the charisma of the albums in an odd, bureaucratic way.
This is a good example. Fvck, they even put the album title in quotation marks, as if really most of the potential buyers didn't know their way around this new Western music.

Incredibly ugly indeed! Cool in a way though. Why the two logos??

I have no idea what's going on there. I saw that thing on ebay and was smitten. Ended up paying 3€ :)

I thought it may have been a printing mistake at first, but it looks intentional, yet weird

This honestly looks as if it was a design for a bootleg tape cover art and turned into a backpatch
