Is this the cassette version of the VCD/CD-ROM you posted a few years ago?

hi paul, yes! i found the tape recently and thought the album was good enough to revisit. the tracklist is slightly different on the cassette version; they left off their eponymous song, and kept only the female answer-version.. not sure why.
