I transferred all my LP's to audiocassette in the 80's, for listening. A ton of them are still playable.

I keep hoping I'll meet some young score collector who has a cassette player, so I can gift her/him with all of them, and give them a big head start.

Sean, did you read Solium's thread? Now you know what became of those boxes you discarded!

***

I think I slandered Columbia. Seeing the MCA logo above, I think the defective EGYPTIAN was indeed MCA. (And don't worry, I don't hold it against you.)

smile

After all, it led me to getting the Varese, which I should have gotten in the first place. It was worth the few extra bucks.

PS: Loved the line about the green screen.

Well.... when I receive new CDs in the mail, I pop it in the player, then I unwrap a Maxell UDII 74-minute cassette or a Maxell XL II 60 or 90-minute (All high-bias, of course!), and record the score onto tape to listen to it on my kick-ass Kenwood in my CR-V. Getting harder to find sealed Maxells, but it ain't impossible. I'm hoping that this new popularity will prompt Maxell to start mass-producing the chrome cassettes again!

thanks, now stop talking about it! I don't want to get back into collecting cassettes, and you're tempting me!

I have also a box of cassette tapes still sitting in my basement.
With all kinds of Discomedleys i made with the Pause, Play and Rec. button. So much of great memories, it is hard for me to get rid of those.
However cassette tapes has its ups and its downs. It is not for nothing that this medium is killed by other inferior once like cd's.
The reel to reel tapes are much higher in quality of course but these are much bigger.
I have the Hans Zimmer for your consideration tape of The Preacher's wife and some other Consideration tapes.

Nilnav45 -- On my computer, at least, your two images show up as that little symbol of a box with a question-mark in it. If you'd be so kind, could you please name what I'm not seeing?

Hope so, thanks.

Preston,
Thanks for pointing that out. Try as I might I can't get the images to show up (forgotten how to) so I have amended my post to a link where they can be found.

A reminder that you can find the instructions to post images and YouTube videos in the specials code legend window when you make a post. Here's the one for images.

Images
DO NOT include the "http://"

For YouTube videos, you also have to remove the "s" in https, that's not clear in the instructions.

Kind of reminds me of the old days when not all cassette players would eject the cassette if it was at the end, so you'd hit the play button over and over again and nothing would happen.

For no reason whatsoever, here's the tracklist of my very first mixtape from 1986 (I have the contents of each and every one kept in a peculiar medium called "notebooks"). I recorded Side B before Side A, and both sides come with a flaw (in the background of the end titles from Silverado my little sister can be heard arguing I'm not taping anything, and I stupidly thought it would be a good idea to rerecord the tracks from The Last Starfighter on my dad's stereo system in glorious not-holding-up-a-tape-recorder-to-the-TV sound when the movie aired on CBC Channel 8 - I wound up not getting the whole thing frown ). I must admit I only just realised that Jerry Goldsmith made his first appearance on my tapes on the very first one, while John Williams had to wait until number 3.

Side A:
Missing In Action 2: The Beginning End Titles - Brian May
The Aviator End Titles - Dominic Frontiere
Thorn EMI Video Trailers
My voice introducing the tape (yes, I know it's not the first track)

No Secrets (Theme From Secret Admirer) - Van Stephenson
Warning Sign End Titles - Craig Safan
The Star Chamber End Titles - Michael Small
Ladyhawke End and Main Titles - Andrew Powell
Charade Main Titles - Henry Mancini
Suppose They Gave A War And Nobody Came Main and (as "Mama To March") End Titles* - Jerry Fielding
Embassy Home Entertainment Trailers

Side B:
Sudden Impact Main Titles - Lalo Schifrin
My voice again
Thunderbirds - Barry Gray**
My voice again
Sorry! - Gaynor Colbourn and Hugh Wisdom
Shoestring Main and End Themes (mashed together by mistake) - George Fenton
The Cosby Show First Theme - Stu Gardner and Bill Cosby
Moving Violations - Nona Hendryx



Stripes End Titles - Elmer Bernstein
The Pink Panter Strikes Again Main Titles - Henry Mancini
Hunter First Theme - Mike Post and Pete Carpenter
East Bound And Down - Jerry Reed
Double Trouble - Tom Snow

**Taken from the end of one of the compilation "movies."

I also like to put stuff on the spines as well - one has MGM/UA, and as this was when they were in MGM/UA Communications Co. mode I had Side 1 begin with the MGM variant,



and Side 2 with the United Artists one.



(I don't like the third one that doesn't open out to either of 'em.)
