radiatorhums Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Where do you guys go to get your tapes? I'm not sure if making a WTB thread in our sale section is the right thing to do I've picked up a few from here, a couple from eBay/Discogs. Most of them I've purchased from the labels though.

GHOSTDRONES Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah discogs and the labels, I do not use ebay all that often and never have for tapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic252 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'll check out Discogs then. Thanks for the tip guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely appreciate it! I agree with you that Discogs is a better marketplace for cassettes overall, especially if you're hunting for something pretty obscure. I'll check out Discogs then. Thanks for the tip guys! Depending upon what you're looking for, it might not hurt to post a WTB thread in the sales forum. If it's something that's popular here, you might have pretty good luck.

kamalatapes Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'll check out Discogs then. Thanks for the tip guys! I'd say a lot of cassette collectors here aren't willing to give up the more contemporary stuff just because most tapes are like what ltd to 50? 100?

FailureByDesign Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hey, I only have two tapes at the moment, but I want to start getting more of them soon. While looking at them though, I've noticed a lot of tapes from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Indonesia, Thailand, and The Phillipines...especially Marilyn Manson and NIN tapes Do you guys think there's any added coolness to foreign tapes? I'm new to this and I'm just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We have already discussed that tapes from Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia should be legit because cassettes were still a popular medium for major releases in those countries up to around 2007. Now with the other countries listed, personally I'm not sure. Also, I would say releases can be "cool" if you personally like/want them.

GHOSTDRONES Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Not saying it is a complete authority on the matter, but discogs lists bootleg tapes for NIN Pretty Hate Machine from Ukraine but legit versions from Malaysia and South Korea.

The Downward Spiral has booted cassettes from Ukraine and Russia I see what you guys are saying Not always, but generally... Ukraine, Russia, etc: Bootlegs for the most part Thailand, Indonesia, etc: Usually official due to cassettes being more popular in those countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Ukraine, Russia, etc: Bootlegs for the most part Thailand, Indonesia, etc: Usually official due to cassettes being more popular in those countries You got it. However, even those countries have moved beyond cassettes now. In fact, some of my most coveted white-whales are mid-2000's era tapes that were made only in Malaysia/Thailand etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New 6 more cassettes left from: You'll Never Get to heaven https://youllnevergettoheaven.bandcamp.com/album/adorn Damn, I dig that. Ordered! Does anyone here check out the Cerberus section on Tiny Mix Tapes? It's not exclusively focused on cassettes, but a lot of it is. They don't really stick to one genre either, which is nice. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/cerberus kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
