Tag: Tapes
Tapes, cassettes, you know. The retro kind. I still love tapes even today.
Cassette Store Day 2015: The Metal
The metal was the best you could get, and you paid a high price for it back in the days when tapes were at their height. And it was heavy. The casing was metal and it looked awesome. I’ve still got a couple of these somewhere, and they’re brilliant.

Cassette Store Day 2015: Favourite Cassettes – Unknown Public 1

Cassette Store Day 2015: An MP3 player, in the shape of … you guessed it!
I felt compelled to get this some time ago, and I have to say that I’ve barely used it. I does make me laugh that someone would produce such a thing though. It only cost a couple of quid on eBay though.
