I still have a ‘massive’ collection of pre recorded cassettes as i thought the CD would never take off. Digital will never be a thing in Music, its analogue all the way. Oops!
All is not lost! My son, a full on child of the digital age is buying pre-recorded cassettes to play in his recently purchased & rebuilt/refurbished Walkman (or walkmen, as he seems to get a new one quite regularly). I am dumbstruck, he actually loves the “authentic” hiss/static/artifacts…things we were happy to discard in the rush to digital. His latest purchases…Wish You were Here by Pink Floyd and War of the Worlds.
A decent Walkman is selling for crazy money on e-bay, so they are popular once again.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
