Tapes: Sound of Pig Music

Tape Label run by Al Margolis 1984 - 1991(?)

Posted by Wolfgang Dorninger - April 10, 2018

Sound of Pig Music

The label Sound of Pig Music has been run by Al Margolis (If Bwana, Pogus Music, ...) convinced not only with great music, but also with massive output. Many call him the "Cassette Godfather"!

I met Al 1986 in NYC - on a place I forget - not only to meet him in person, but also to concuct a video interview with him. At that time, I was very impressed by his clear musical focus and confused too that a single man can handle such a huge output of tapes. And the output continued to grow massively later. His later releases on Pogus (on CD) I appreciate very much, some even take me completely. Because it's hard to believe my words, I copy/pasted all SoP tape releases to this page. (Wolfgang Dorninger)

Maybe you still can buy SoP tapes via Pogus Production. For sure you can buy new stuff by Al Margolis and Pogus Productions there.
