A little bit of filk history...
May. 30th, 2013 01:36 amI recently won an interesting piece of filk history on ebay.
A June 1984 Off Centaur catalog. While its not a recording, it does give me an idea of what tapes existed at the time, what they were talking of releasing and what others had published in that time in history. It also tells of a few filk (and folk) tapes, songbooks and records that existed at the time. The one unfortunate thing with the catalog is that they did not print all the song titles on each tape. They did do reviews of the tapes they carried.
I have scanned the catalog in and have made it available for download here -
