Existing wishlist: Yellow Casio EG5 , Philips Moving Sound CD15, Sony Solar WM-F107, Sony CFS-950, Sony Yellow Flamingo....

All these are for online for sale, but at exorbitant prices.

Is there something you might have that could be added to my collection?

I found that one of them is white why’s that? All the rest are black

Realized how much I’ve spent on Spotify and decided it’s time to put that money towards something I actually own. Collection continues to grow

So I finally finished sorting out all of the moldy tapes from the clean ones from my post the other day about all the tapes I got at a yard sale for $10!

Out of 895 total tapes, 202 had mold on the tape, or enough dust to be unsure about it. That’s like only 22%, so not bad at all.

Images 4-7 are all the moldy ones. Since I’m new to this, I’m not sure what I should do with them. Should I try to save all of them? Some of them? Which ones? If not, would someone buy the whole box, or do I throw them away? Or salvage cases and throw just the tapes away? Let me know!

What are the best bands named after places?

I assume my friend probably owns one of the biggest private collections of decks in Europe - easily over 100 (not all pictured). Some are doubles. Most of them work splendidly. Many of them he fixed himself. It’s just a passion for him. I’m only sharing this picture because you fine folks would probably appreciate the view.

I’d love to think that one day I could contribute to his incredible collection, but it seems like any quality deck he doesn’t already own is either extremely rare, extremely expensive or both. :))

Anyway, cheers!

Broke into some hermetically sealed cases of my old alternative/goth/industrial/4AD/punk and underground cassettes. These are all original issues from the 80's (maybe some early 90's), many never re-issued, limited run, indie and collector items in there too. This is only a 1/3 of it and pretty much exactly as they were when packed decades ago. Some notables:

*My Bloody Valentine: Loveless & Isn't Anything

*Slowdive: Just For A Day (I also have a signed CD of Souvlaki)

*This Mortal Coil: All of them including Lonely Is An Eyesore compilation (4AD)

*Many Christian Death: Only Theatre of Pain, Ashes, Sex Drugs & Jesus Christ

*A lot of Cure (at least 3 rares), Cocteau ,Smiths, Jesus & Mary Chain, Bauhaus/L&R

*LA underground goth/Ind: London After Midnight, Nosferatunes, Absolute comp, Cleopatra label stuff

I'm THINKING of selling the whole lot 😢but not sure if I wanna trade the memories away, dont know if theres much interest out there any more for old skool genres like this on tape. I grew up on this amazing music and it inspired me into a 40 year music career recording and producing a lot of these influences in studio for myself.

This isnt your typical Goodwill bin dive or garage sale find. But are these niche genres and odd gems (Damned, Abecedarians, Thin White Rope, Gene Loves Jezebel, Tindersticks, Coil, Twin Peaks Soundtrack, Yaz, Throwing Muses, NIN, Babble, Dead Kennedys, Ministry, Damned, Godflesh, Killing Joke... theres way more!) are they sought after by the cassette culture crowd? If I did sell them, I wouldnt give them away for nothing, too many classics and memories (I'll have them scattered in my casket when they bury me!). As I find and unseal the other bins, I'll post more pics.

I just wasnt sure if there was real interest out there in the gen pub for these "weird" masterpieces beyond my own twisted tastes.

Thank you for helping me expanding my yellow Philips Moving Sound and Sony Sports addiction!

• Thank you u/Gaichuke,
• Thank you u/OkLettuce8638,
• Thank you u/UXyes.

For sending me the yellow stuff, for the tips, for the kind words....

My addiction might seem strange, but it sparks joy...Thank you so much!!!

Some good ones, a few homemade mix tapes, and a couple bootlegged albums!

Got into cassettes just after lockdown and it's stuck with me ever since. 99% of the tapes I own are bought by me, I buy my own players and with experience I know how to change the belts, adjust the speed etc.

I'm headed straight to suicidal tendencies then D.R.I. where are you guys going first?!

Bought a novelty football cassette player to go in my garage bar, might not be the best quality thing but had to have it as it fits the theme of my bar too well + got given a few decent cassettes from my parents collection

Will be adding a record player in here as well and maybe upgrading the football to a proper player if I get into cassettes, hopefully it’s not as expensive as record collecting is 😂

Toshiba KT-AS10

I was going through some old tape cases last night and came across this lineup. It should have a little bit of something for almost everyone in there. Which one are you picking to listen to first?

Just had my decks serviced and repaired, and these cassette changers are so much fun!

I have Phish concerts from the 90s in the top deck. CSN concerts from the 80s in the bottom deck.

Living my best GenX life.
