Umm...I think it was 1993 when I last bought a tape

Excellent topic, still!

This is my weapon of choice. About 35 yrs old and still operative. I quit using cassette tapes however.

I've got a box of old heavy metal tapes if you're interested. Just no room to display them anymore and no reason to play them. Although I did go thru them a few months ago and listen to a few, since for some reason my 2004 Tiburon has a tape deck (along with cd and a 6 cd changer in the trunk)
I transferred a bunch of demo tapes to cdr years ago, and most of the better tapes I have on cd.

JUST HAVING FUN WITH Y'ALL!! (WHO ELSE, RIGHT?)

Face it, tapes were great cause if you were too stoned while driving "back in the day" and dropped one while trying to switch out you would just grab another and hope it had the kinda guitar distoriton you were SO sure you needed to hear at that time.

Nonetheless, I was a bit suprised to see how much money certain metal cassettes were being bought for on EBAY the last few weeks. It seems there is minimal love lost for those "ancient plastic friends of ours" that's for sure. (of course, it helps if your band is called Voivod, Exodus, Venom, or Possessed as oppossed to Hurricane, Armored Saint, or Lizzy Borden)

I havent bought any in a long time but I was going through one of my old boxes the other day and came across quite a lot of cassettes. Here are some, Seven Churches, Apocalyptic Raids, Morbid Tales, Diary of A Madman, The Mob Rules, Angel Witch, so on and so forth...and my favourite find, War & Pain. Now I just need to get a cassette player again.

Funny, I recently scored Sleep's "Holy Mountain" on tape!

Say what you want, I still love cassettes...

Haha, I bought War and Pain on tape just 15 years after I ditched my tape-player...

I don't know why I did that. It was a bargain, 4E

I know this thread was in the VVF-Forum, so it's time to bump it up

Bought this new advance demo earlier this day.

Complete Link

A interesting point: the Album (which will be released in October 2012) was mastered by Dan Swanö.

Last week I got The Outer Limits on cassette for $2.99, along with Black Sabbath - Headless Cross and the first Budgie album. All were new!

There's been a resurgence in cassettes for demos lately, since it's the "old-school" format, particularly for black metal and noise artists - And, no shit, check this out - A buddy of mine had a cassette run turned down by the manufacturer because they were "too busy" with a new job for a major label. WTF? Now they're cranking out 15k a day.

All the best,
PAULIE

PS I feel like I *just* posted this recently, deja vu or repost?

Cassettes last a lot longer than they say, I have some that are 30 yrs old and still sound the same.

Great collection! I think there's maybe three things in that box that I *don't* have - One's that Voivod/Dessau thing, what is that?? Another is that Ministry cassette because fake metal sucks.

lol

You should dust off that Snake Nation cassette and crank it! Three songs on there that aren't on the LP, and it's never been released on CD ever, great (albeit badly mixed) stuff, the Blue Cheer cover kills.

Factually speaking, cassettes have the least-favorable signal-to-noise ratio of any format, but there's still something very conforting about the familiarity of them for those of us who grew up on them.

All the best,
PAULIE

X-D, That photo is proff that you've been a cool mutha for a long long time

I still have a box of cassettes in the attic I just can't bring myself to throw away. Every now and then I pull some out and play them even though I probably have them on cd.

Suddenly I wish I had more of my old cassettes with me here. "VENON" -- classic.

And the Ministry - ha! Talk about a novelty hit back in the day...

I was moving stuff around in my office/studio and had to snap a pic of my remaining tapes for this thread!

Some of the French-Canadian folks here will notice one tape that is EXTREMELY cheesy tucked in amongst the rest.

I bought a new cassette last night by THE ATLAS in Toronto. First side is all covers and B side is an older demo of theirs on cassette. Great psychedelic metal band from Chicago
