Fond memory of TDK cassettes
Anyone else still enjoying cassettes on a regular (at least once weekly) basis?
I'm sure there are more of you out there!
On a plus point, you don't see street-lamps with tape wrapped around them any more after a frustrated driver has unpicked Brothers In Arms from the dash before hurling it out of the window.
Do the "youf" of today even have such a concept of giving someone a mix-tape? - obviously where copyright allowed 
Very true..!
Take a look at this site - http://www.c-90.org/catalogue/tapes/TDK
It's just incredible. I don't know which is worse, the fact there is a site as comprehensive as this - or the fact that I know where it is!
Strangely addictive...
OMG, thanks a million for that link! Brought back many happy memories. I sold thousands of these in my 20s; we used to get them from Top Tape (in Harrow or Uxbridge, I recall) and still made a profit. As someone else says, they were serious bucks - at least two quid for a C90.
I used D, AD, SA, SA-X and Metal along with various derivatives. Was a long-time fan of Maxell too, and we even got original Hitachis too (who made Maxell).

Yes; almost weekly.
Digitising the non-commercial stuff onto CD with an Alesis Masterlink. I had to pack up all the cassettes to re-arrange the music room recently, and shocked myself with the number of them. I have a picture somewhere.....
Don't forget my favourite....

I use my TEAC V-6030S tape deck at least once a week to listen to my cassette collection. Its actually quite fun to listen to of these old tunes on its 'originality' before the CD era. And also to listen back to some of my jamming sessions while in high school.
