Very soon there will be a pre-order exclusive to bbs members for a limited number of the cassettes. The link will be shared privately by me, details of that process will be explained hopefully in the next 24-48 hours. The regular on-sale will occur not long after that is over, but I want the folks here that want one to get one obviously. We have finished our bean counting and the tapes will be $12 + shipping to cover our expenses. Calculating Paypal fees and bubble-mailer costs factored into that determination along with the actual production/front-end costs (printing/cassettes/mastering/band copies)

Is there a limit per order Brian?

Yep, there will be a limit of 1 or 2 per order, we're still mulling that over. We want people to get their hands on one of these and not hoard. People that attempt to game the system will be refunded.

You know im not the biggest fan right now as far as some packaging goes, but it looks really cool. Perhaps some backstory on it?

Didn't know that Keith, but I'm really glad you think they look cool! Not sure what you mean by backstory? Did you read my initial post in this thread and have lingering questions?

for myself!   who came up with the shell? That concept would look quite tasty on a vinyl release.

The box the cassette is wrapped up in is referred to as a bradpack by the printing company that we worked with stumptown: https://www.stumptownprinters.com/print-services/c-cassette-packaging-101/
They're used by a lot of folks in the cassette world, Joe has released other cassettes on his label in the past in bradpacks. so stumptown did the letterpress printing on the brad pack on one of their old letterpress machines that you can check out on their site. The die-cut in the center for the image to be inserted was something that they did custom for us based on our specifications, we had to manually apply each image after numbering it to the pack ourselves once we had the packs shipped to us in MN. Joe & I came up with the idea together, originally we threw around a few ideas and were thinking of doing 5 different images, but I decided to go nuts and do 500 and guarantee that no one would be able to collect them all. Joe designed the layout on the package as far as the text etc. he's a great graphic designer. as far as looking good on vinyl, joyful noise does something similar with their almost live series as far as using the fold up cardboard thing and having a die-cut.

The Melvins FB calling it Bird Dog, and .net going with Dog Bird.  On goes another minor Melvins mystery...

Not much of a mystery, it's Roman Dog Bird according to the band, it's easy to typo it since Bird Dog's are an actual thing while Dog Bird's really aren't.
Here is how Buzz wrote it on the Lysol test press:
