what's with folk releasing stuff on cassette? (6 Viewers)

[Burgerbarbaby]

My mother had a Cat Stevens compilation - a genuine release - which was a chrome cassette with all the songs on one side, and blank on the other. I filled up the blank side with Sabbat and Motorhead. Kinda got into Cat Stevens as a result of trying to avoid the tedium of rewinding.

Cassettes get a bad rap. Yes, they are almost pointless these days but they were a great format. Portable and sounded excellent. I still remember going into that stereo shop hear ha'penny bridge with my older brothers to but a boom box thing. The guy was showing off its sound with some Phil Collins. I took my Scorpions 'Blackout' tape out and we horsed it up. Sounded brilliant. That 2in1 served a long life in the family home. I believe it is still there, though I think the tape part is fucked.

bought my first stereo in there...think its a hairdressers now..
