Listening now to this cassette

[kap'n krunch]

and another one that has come alive in Cassette (who'd have thunk???), don't get me wrong, the LP versions sound REALLY good, I have USA and UK versions, but this "XDR" USA cassette version sounds awesome, no dull sounding tape, and of course, the inherent compression makes the details POP out!!!
Her MASTERPIECE, which I prefer over HoL (maybe my next tape purchase!)

getting rid of tape hiss ..sounds VERY good...maybe better than the LP!

 

[kap'n krunch]

and then THIS! Bill Nelson produced one song here (and on the 1st LP)

Nighty night muzik from the heavens!

great album, had never listened to it, has Kevin MacMichael from Cutting Crew on gtr who left us too young!

 

[kap'n krunch]

well, I got this on tape cause the LP is obscenely expensive...sounds pretty good...
but somebody should tell Uncle Tom that "What's you name" is "Betty Davis' eyes"...strange that HE didn't get sued!

I still have my Sony Walkman the model used in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. Nice metal case. Stopped working long ago I had put in new drive belts once sure those are unobtanium now.
I drive an old car with tape deck and CD player but the cassette section is a step down in quality from what I used to use
Now you can't even get cd players in cars anymore...

Aretha Franklin
Live at the Fillmore commercial prerecorded cassette.

I found this in a thrift store with a bunch of prog music cassettes like Focus and Gentle Giant. Think I listened to half of this at the time
Well anyways I popped this in my car for the commute to work and heard another half. I got home as Ray Charles got on stage.

He can serenade me for the morning drive.
