http://www.gemm.com http://www.musicstack.com Excellent sites indeed!! I found a record and a cassette i have been wanting!! (I love having analogue copies of things if possible (THE SOUND IS MUCH BETTER))
Cassettes are fuckin great.. I like vinyl too. But you can take cassettes in cars and on walkmans. Cassettes are smaller and easier to store. Cassettes break less than records... if you get dust on records they skip.. drop a record it breaks.. Anyways I just started buying cassettes again.. I buy from Amazon and Ebay for cassettes. Amazon has some really rare stuff.. I just a Skin Yard cassette in the mail today.. and thats some pretty rare shit to find... Oh and I thought that I'd add.. I also found a Mudhoney cassette on Amazon still factory sealed.. So yes definitely check out Amazon.
When did you write that... 2011 or 1971 ? Cassettes were always dodgy - if you've not yet got a 2nd hand one where the sound quality has seriously deteriorated, then you've been very lucky. I have loads of good stuff [mainly DIY stuff, probably never will appear on CD] on cassette from the 1980s, and its just unplayable, sound quality has evaporated totally. I also started my recording career [such as it is] on 4-track cassette players, and let me assure you digital is far easier to use and better quality [every time you bounce a track on cassette, you lose sound quality]. Maybe you should be checking out the old 8-track cartridges from the 1960s and 70s, because they were supposed to have far superior sound quality to cassette. As someone who grew up with vinyl and cassette, I'm not sorry to see them be eclipsed. CDs are just so much as an improvement in so many ways...but perhaps you'd have to have grown up with all the inadequacies of vinyl and tape to really appreciate it. Oh, and by the way - you can also play CDs in cars, on Walkmans, etc. And I hear they're developing something called a MP3 player. Whatever next ? Onwards into the future. Look like you've got stuck in my past and, frankly, you're welcome to it.
Ah, rule number 99 - when unable to articulate a valid defence of your position, call the other person names.
maybe they have a website, i'm not sure...but there's this shop in concord, nh called pitchfork records which has tons of vinyls - some brand new and some used - but a real big collection to choose from.
