The Making of the “Rewind” Album Cover

I usually release one or two tracks at a time.  The idea came to me to bring a larger number of tracks together for EP-sized release.  But what to call it?  Eventually the name Rewind seemed to fit.  Cassette tapes are the first thing that might come to mind for this word.  However, there are other kinds of things that can be rewound.  Two other kinds of tapes were referenced in the cover art.  The first kind is videotapes.  The background of the cover art comes from a label sheet that came with a video cassette.   If you look to the bottom left, there are some detachable letters and numbers that can be used to label the video cassette.  The other thing that can be rewound is the blue labeling tape.   It took one or two tries to get the wording right with the labeling tape as sometimes the mechanism jams.  Ah, the wonders of analog 🙂  A bit of extra saturation was added to the photo at the end.
