spatchCassette tapes!
See how many you remember. Even just staring at a few of these brings back memories like you wouldn't believe.
This was the mix tape staple.
These were pretty crummy, but oh so trendy! Especially the 120 min tape. Hissy and crappy, and I can't imagine hearing Jane's Addiction on anything but.
We had every single Steely Dan album on this type of cassette.
The guy who gave me the Pink Floyd collection did so on these.
August 1996 / Bob is a very big cat.
What do you remember?

Date: 2005-10-25 03:09 am (UTC)When my dad was managing a pizza restaurant he made a deal with the manager of the nearby Radio Shack to exchange free pizzas for a HUGE box of floor samples. It had remote control cars, a keyboard, a SIMON (beep boop boop), an assortment of handheld games and so many blank cassette tapes it was incredible. A bunch 120s too. Score! Dividing up the cassette bounty proved tricky - did one 120 minute tape count the same as two 60-minute tapes? I think this was still back in the days of putting our tape recorder up to the big stereo speakers to record songs of the radio. I still can't listen to David Bowie's "Let's Dance" without hearing our dog Roulette barking in the background...
