Number: AE1974/KP5974
This tape was recorded and distributed independently by one Will Jima . It seems old Will had a deep conviction that the government was suppressing amazing information about UFOs way back in 1974 and decided to put out his own 8-track to let the world in on his fantastic discovery.
This guy was obviously way ahead of his time what with all the X-Files and turn-of-the-millennia UFO mania our culture is in the grips of these days. Mr. Jima had some pretty clear answers to some very relevant UFO questions. The label of the 8-track speaks for itself. The cover image is of--well I don't know what--but presumably it's a UFO.
Will Jima's monologue is surprisingly subdued and is performed without a trace of irony or sideshow hucksterism we've come to expect from people delivering such messages. It does, however, take on a decidedly religious bent as his monologue wears on and some bible quotations begin to slip out toward the end. He matter-of-factly delivers his stunning message in his thick Southern accent and with a quiet dignified conviction. I'll spare you the details since the 8-track label information says far more than I could ever hope to.
This 8-track does a great job illustrating that if you had a message in the 1970s and you wanted to reach THE PEOPLE, then you sent your message by THE PEOPLE'S format----8-track.
A big thanks to Steve Ciaffa for tape and narrative
