The Original Cassette Collective Thread


Recommended Posts

Whoa. No Sleep is incredible. Why have I not heard them before? I've played Atlanta a couple of times and would love to have seen them. The vocals are great.

Pretty much the same reaction I had. Probably haven't heard of them because they haven't really done any full band recordings until now and have frequent member changes. But also agree, Aaron's vocals slay.

I don't know if this is old news, but I stumbled upon Waypoint yesterday & ended up picking up their latest cassette for $5 shipped. It's one song, but it's pretty killer. FFO Balance & Composure.

 

The cassette is limited to 50: http://waypoint.bigcartel.com/product/solus-cassette

Bandcamp: http://waypoint.bandcamp.com/

 

 

Also, I saw that a lot of people have cassettes from Thailand/Indonesia, etc. I've seen some releases on eBay that are from these countries and have been wary of purchasing just because of overseas shipping.  Are these tapes legit?

Goodwill, shows, message boards, online via distros/labels direct, and some record stores carry them too.

Alright, so what I'm doing is not too far off base.

Found a Public Enemy cassette and my buddy was gonna buy it until we found out that the insert was the wrong way and had holes in it from that

ALWAYS BE SURE TO CHECK INSIDE THE CASE WHEN BUYING FROM GOODWILL. You'll think you're getting some cool Talking Heads greatest hits tape and it will totally turn out to be Metallica's black album. Which is kinda cool, and really funny, but yeah, I wanted Talking heads.

I haven't heard about anything bad happening with any of these transactions. It could go either way though. Hopefully someone has some personal experience with this, because I'm curious as well.

I found a Type O Negative cassette sitting on a random shelf by itself at Goodwill. It was 20 cents so obviously I purchased it. The next day I found a nice sony tape deck for $15 at a different Goodwill so obviously I purchased that too.

 

I guess what I'm saying is, this thread now interests me.

Yeah, that's about the same with me. A guy just walked into my work the other day and said: "Hey, you like music right?" 

I said "yeah," and he brought me a Technics tape deck and let me have it for free.

Just put up a pre-order for my cassette: http://siftstatic.storenvy.com/products/2131950-ss002-no-sleep-moving-forward-cassette

I'm usually against preorders but my arm was twisted to put it up. If you do preorder I'll toss in a patch and buttons. Cassettes will ship the day they arrive at my door (2 weeks approx.)

Cheers!

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.

Thanks for this info.  I was mainly concerned about bootlegs.  I've seen a few sellers that seem to sell nothing but cassettes, so I guess they are legit since their feedback is OK.

I need to check this band out. Weatherbox is my jam.

 

When you do, pre-order that shiz! http://siftstatic.storenvy.com/products/2131950-ss002-no-sleep-moving-forward-cassette

 

Everyone who's digging on No Sleep, thanks so much! Please pick up a copy of the cassette and show those dudes some love - i'll send out the download code when you preorder so you can jam out on the go.
