Are you still buying cassette tapes ? I do. Today I purchased an original 1984 copy of Metallica's Ride the Lightning on cassette.

Recently I listened to Who's Next on cassette and the remastered CD back-to-back. The CD sounds miles better, no contest. The cassette is labeled "improved sound quality".

I recently stumbled upon a GIANT roll of cassette labels. They probably cost a bundle, there was like a few hundred. I didn't have the heart to throw them out. Collecting dust in the basement next to my beer bong and my ADA MP-1 . . .
I still do keep a cassette deck wired into my studio, lots of vocalists still use cassette recorders to lay down song ideas . . . |

I still buy blank tapes, when I can find good ones. Very difficult any more.

Every once in awhile I'll go down to The Underground music store here in town and go thru their cassette section. I also will by empty cassettes to use as band practice reference when we learn new original material because sometimes we only get to practice once a month and everybody forgets how the song(s) go.

Oh sorry, I read that as "Are you still burying casette tapes?"
