That is cool.I saw this yesterday…
Only needs more of that kind of thing, and the current cassette revival will really take off.

As a playing copy of A Certain Ratio's "Graveyard & The Ballroom" I picked up the Factory linen style blue boxed cassette. While I was at it I picked up another ACR boxed cassette "The Old & The New".
For some inexplicable reason these collectable Factory Cassette editions got left in my parents Somerset retirement home loft...
...I spent a depressing afternoon trying to find them in the attic.
"Sorry son - I thought you were now a CD person - we dropped off all your cassettes at the local charity shop".
Thankfully the original green Factory pouch edition never left my side...
...I also have the Soul Jazz CD for listening today.
The first time I got to see ACR play live...
...was in 1987 - a Factory event in Finsbury Park - New Order, Happy Mondays, ACR and ahem the Railway Children.
Somewhere I have Live In America by ACR on cassette, bought from the band at one of their Portsmouth Poly gigs in 1985My favourite ACR are the 1980 Factory 12” singles ‘Flight’ and ‘Du The Du (Casse)’. Those things just kick! Amazing records. I think the tracks are on Early, but whether they have anything like the punch I have no idea. The really extended 33rpm 12” of ‘Knife Slits Water’ is superb too.

I had one of those and in a moment of gross stupidity threw it out about 20 years ago in a clear outI saw this yesterday…

Huh? You mean it's not?it's about as good an idea as reintroducing candy floss as a health food.

I borrowed a few albums here and there. This proved very costly once when I left the few LP's I borrowed on the back shelf of the car on a rather sunny day......I used to love cassettes because I could borrow albums I couldn’t afford from friends and tape them.
I have kept a few decks but they are just ornaments. They do work though (I think).
Nice & unique, shame it did not come within a more sturdy shell.I saw this yesterday…

Bet you start to scream like that guy in that Norwegian painting if you think about what shite you decided to NOT throw away that timeIn the same clear out went about 300 tapes, mostly home recorded, but also a stack of bootlegs I’d bought when I was a student in the early 80’s - loads of stuff from the student unions at Strathclyde Uni, Glasgow uni and the College of Technology.
And I’d rather not think about the ones from Scirocco / Shabby Road studios or I’ll start to cry ……
