Heyyy! Nothing wrong with cassettes! (Except when you're in high school and everone else has moved on to cds). Yep, that was me. Thanks mom.

I've often said that Japan's greatest practical joke on the US was 8-Track tapes. Lord, have mercy... :facepalm:

I remember being little and my mom always getting mad at me because I would cram all of those stupid little barrettes she used to put in my hair in her 8 track player. Whoops...

Yeah, I held on to vinyl as long as I could. I would play the album once to remove the excess vinyl and play it a second time to record it onto cassette. :rolleyes: Starting at age 14, for maybe 10 years, I would buy one album (vinyl) a week. buy 10 - get 11th one free. I still have them all. My first was, Queen: "News Of The World." At the end of my vinyl buying daze, I would ask the record store clerk (I still know him - long story) to order the album on vinyl because they quit stocking vinyl (late 80's). Then, one day, I asked him to order the new Alice Cooper album, "Trash." He grabbed the phone and said he was calling the store across town to see if they had it. It seemed to me he was sick of ordering a record once a week. So, on that fateful day in 1989, I switched to cassettes and stayed there for about the next 10 years when I finally switched to CD's.

In 2006, I purchased a Sony CD Recorder and recorded all my vinyl and cassettes on to CD's. Doing one a day, it took me over 3 years.
