Holy crap!

Cassette 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?

Oh man... the clear Memorex tape with the blue triangle and the pink... holy camoley. A while back I had to toss out a bunch of cassette tapes because, well, they were casette tapes, and almost all of them were that. The ones that weren't, were the Maxells with the gold label and the running bars or whatever you'd call it.

Jesus, I remember making mix tapes and sitting down trying to calculate song running times and thinking, "Okay, so, 3:45 + 4:22 + 4:33 + 3:05 equals... aw crap... um... well, I can probably squeeze in 6 more songs on side A easily."

Were those Clear Memorex the tapes that had the little yellow slidy thing on the tape? When you'd start the tape, they'd snap up either to the little plastic wheels in the top, or the reel of tape, depending on direction.
