Back to Cassettes

Back in the day I had a way with the typewriter…

After my recent purchase of an old Hi-Fi system I’ve dug out a bunch of nearly fifty year old cassettes I recorded back in the 1970’s. Now, you might have heard that old tape falls apart, loses its signal and all the oxide comes off. Not in my experience. All the tapes I’ve tried so far work fine. My particular favourites are the things that I recorded from the weekly chart show. They have survived perfectly, complete with FM static and extra interference when a car drove past the flat or the chap upstairs turned on his hairdryer.

If you happen to have a bunch of old cassettes lying around I’d strongly advise you to dig them out and have a listen.
