The Original Cassette Collective Thread


Recommended Posts

How much for Kid A? Obviously your favorite band, but dude... I need that tape...

 

Damn, that one took me forever to find for a decent price... I bought it online from Amoeba a while back. Of course, I got it in the mail and the tape itself is folded and stops around The National Anthem. I'll try to fix it eventually but it was disappointing to say the least.

Yeah, it's a toughie to find. 2000 was a bad year for cassettes. So was 2001... and 2002... etc.

 

I'm also going out of my head looking for The Bends/OK Computer/Kid A on MiniDisc. Those things were cool...

I have ordered a couple of tapes from overseas (Thailand, Indonesia) and have never had a problem. There are some solid sellers on eBay and they ship the cassettes safely too. As a rule of thumb I would always check someone's feedback first if there is a question about ordering. I know over at Kris's Stress's Notes and Bolts there is a question as to if some certain tapes from overseas are Bootlegs but that I am not sure and I usually just order the tapes if I like the album.

 

If you are ordering tapes from places like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc... they are most likely bootlegs.

I don't know about them being Bootlegs. All of the ones I have gotten sound good and have great artwork layouts. I know some seem to be put out by Universal music in those areas and because so they have a holographic sticker depicting the Universal logo. I have just always assumed that cassettes were the norm in those areas and because of that is why they were producing them still up to a couple of years ago.

Yeah, they're not bootlegs (most of the time). It's just that, in those countries, cassettes are cheaper to make and easier to sell. If it were a money-maker, they'd still be making 8-tracks.

 

Around 2007 though, most of those countries turned to CD's.

Rad!  That's for the heads up on that, it would more than double my tape collection!  NNA, Burger and Already Dead are the only participating labels that I'm familiar with.  All three of them release quality material.
