What was the last cassette tape you bought?
Posted by: Drikus on 11 April 2018
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions: Rattlesnakes / Easy Pieces - £2,99! - Good condition.
Last cassette I bought was probably in about 1987-1988 Squirrel and G‑Man Twenty Four Hour Party People Plastic Face Carnt Smile (White Out) by The Happy Mondays, Factory Records Boxset Cassette. Still got it somewhere in my attic with no device to play it on. The cassette deck was released from service about 2000 I think. I have no inclination to ever return to it.

Didn't know this stuff still existed. I mean the tapes...
Drikus, I'm sure you're itching to have a play before sending it off for a service...
Looking good there, Drikus.
Wow, nice find!

No, no, no, Steve. Someone was going to dump them and me, being a good samaritan, decided to rescue them.

Ah, great!! That will will teach me to read closer before I reply. Good catch Tony
Three of these from a newsagent and stationer in Streatham. Apparently they'd been sitting there for years and the owner was thinking of chucking them out. Got 'em for a quid each...
Nice one Kevin. SA of that vintage was just about the peak.
