2013 Duel Cassette with Richard Cuthbert

After meeting Richard Cuthbert in Berlin in 2011 Guglielmino started planning a cassette only release with Cuthbert. The release was delayed due to several setbacks involving Cuthbert and Guglielmino's management firms who both disagreed with the intended format. Cuthbert's training as a lawyer eventually allowed both artists to receive approval from their firms for release, with a slight compromise, the cassettes had to include download codes. The press release for the cassette and tour was revealing of the internal frictions including quotes from their management firms criticising the release. [51][68][69]
