And when. I'm interested as to when this unloved format finally faded from purchasing view. (Blank tapes dont count obv.)

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

"Beautiful Garbage" by Garbage (£4.99) from Virgin, Cornmarket Street, about this time last year.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 1 November 2002 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate Bush, 'Sensual World'

(Tom, John Cage would disagree! hah!)

i bought tlc's "fanmail" on tape in bangkok when i was doing the globetrotting thing and had only a walkman.

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Double Nickle on the Dime - Minutemen. Back in 1986. I'd just moved to London and my turntable was elsewhere. Nothing since. And no interesting anecdote to go with this.

― Yes/No Interlude (Yes/No Interlude), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

in fact, quite a huge proportion of my collection consists of cassettes - 16 years of daily Oxford-London commuting; the only place i could really listen to albums properly was on the oxford city link/oxford tube; one of the few advantages of the evening 2 1/2 hour crawl up the westway, hanger lane, borehamwood ect.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 1 November 2002 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah mine was a tape of Turkish folk music in Istanbul a cpl of years ago but my last in a UK record shop was Kenickie's "Get In" whenever that was released (98 I think).

― Tom (Groke), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

for "borehamwood" read "beaconsfield."

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 1 November 2002 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I've actually never bought a cassette. Never liked the format.

― David (David), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

There might've been a more recent one, but the last one that springs to mind is Stevie Wonder's 'Characters' (1987). Extra tracks which weren't on the LP.

― James Ball (James Ball), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I think the last one must have been The Scabs ( Waffle land Replacements Lite Muzak).

― nathalie (nathalie), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, I used to buy cassettes nearly exclusively from about 1985 until 1992 or so, when I finally got a decent turntable.

Think the last album I bought on cassette was Blur's Parklife. (Oh, when it was still cool, and months before Girls & Boys was big hit, to maintain my indie cred and all that... considering I'd bought Modern Life on import CD when I didn't even own a CD player...)

― kate, Friday, 1 November 2002 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Either Blue Rodeo's Diamond Mine or Cyndi Lauper's Shes So Unusual.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 1 November 2002 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Frog and Toad by His Name Is Alive. There are a lot of treasures in the Time Stereo (www.timestereo.com) catalog, and some of them are cassette-only (HNIA's Michigan's Finest, which contains most?/all? of the Nice Day EP, is also a tape you need).

― Ernest P., Friday, 1 November 2002 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Duck and Cover Compilation for $US .99

Husker Du, Black Flag, etc. doing covers.

INXS Greatest Hits in 1994!

― blueski, Friday, 1 November 2002 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

"New" makes this a difficult question -- I know I bought a used tape of Springsteen's Lucky Town about three years ago. Ah yes, now I remember, I bought four new Slabco cassettes as part of an Xmas reissue around 1998 -- two Sukpatch tapes, a Land of the Loops tape, and Stinky Fire Engine. That stuff is cassette-only to this day, in fact. Some good songs in there.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

cocteau twins- victorialand on cassete for 2 quid (sometime last year). it was second hand.

first hand albums on cassette and you're talking 3 to four years back but i can't remmeber what.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Experimental Jet Set, Trash, and No Star, I think.

The Farm - Spartacus in 1993.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I've bought very few because, you know, the sound of cassettes is crap.. But I think the last two were purchases concurrently: Graham Parker & the Shot and Flock of Seagulls 'Listen' - each were $.50 - would have been in 1985, I think. Still haven't listened to either of them.

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Beherit Drawing Down The Moon, a few months ago.

― Siegbran (eofor), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

'Things that go bump in the night' by 'Allstars'

― Paul R, Friday, 1 November 2002 15:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Legitimate releases: "Your Cassette Pet" BowWowWow, 1980, and only then because they weren't releasing the damned thing in any other formats.

Semi-legitimate releases: something by a local (Reading) band called JoJo Namoza around '85 (do you remember them Dr. C or would they have been after your time?)

Bootlegs: probably either Killing Joke's Unperverted Pantomine or Theatre Of Hate Live At The Lyceum, around '80 / '81

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 1 November 2002 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

a few months ago at the goodwill i bought control, strange free world, and welcome to the pleasuredome.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

(i almost got an extra copy of dare and the first simple minds alb this weekend, but i was .50 short.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Judas Priest "Unleashed in the East" about 2 weeks ago which is far more recent than any other format purchase. I like cassettes; they play in my car. I always look for them in thrift shops and road stops as sort of disposable driving music.

― Kris (aqueduct), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

this spring, 5 Bollywood soundtracks for 10 bucks from Fullworth's - the big Indian grocery/kitchenware store in Parkdale. Selected on the basis of the cover art alone. Don't listen to em much since getting a couple of good compilation cd's & a 2-disc best of Asha B.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey everybody Tom asked for the last NEW cassette you bought -- almost everything here is second hand.

― Mark (MarkR), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark, who cares what he asks? ;-) Shit, I think I bought a few secondhand tapes... they were crap. I think one was a hardcore comp or something. I frigging hate that format.

― nathalie (nathalie), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

When I was on the dole in South London (around 1996) I used to buy a few cassettes, because I didn't have a CD player and the only record shop nearby was Our Price which didn't have vinyl.

So I've got a few cassette singles (mostly really shit post-Britpop band, e.g. the Seahorses) and a few albums (e.g. some Kinks compilation, Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot', Bowie's 'Low'). I think the Kinks was the last one. The fact I've got 'Low' on cassette bugs me because I've got all Bowie's other records on vinyl and I like to be consistent. Also, I never play it because apart from these few items I have hundreds of C90s that are 80% blank and 20% filled with 4 track experiments somewhere in the middle, and I don't know what's on where, and I've put every cassete I own in a binbag at the back of a cupboard to await the day I can be bothered sorting the whole mess out.

I have never bought music on cassettes before or since 1996.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

"we're in it for the money" by supergrass. about, oh, 5 years ago i was delivering furniture for a living and all we had was a tape deck and am radio in the truck. life was simple then.

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 1 November 2002 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I get a few secondhand ones for the car every so often -- last one was Cupid & Psyche 85. Last time I purchased new cassettes was mid 89 before I finally got a turnable and if I remember correctly they were Doolittle and Surfer Rosa -- traded in shortly after for the vinyl copies. I remember Doolittle had a great sound on cassette though. Transparent glass cassettes had a better sound than the black ones for some reason.

― David Gunnip, Friday, 1 November 2002 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought the soundtrack for the Naked Lunch recently - it was new but very cheap 63 cents and I've never seen it on disc.

I also bought a number of tapes in India as a lot of stuff wasn't easily available on CD and if it was it was about four times the price. And I couldn't play them while there obviously.

― tigerclawskank, Friday, 1 November 2002 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought a tape of Roy Montgomery and Kirk Lake from stormy Records, Windy And Carl's store.

― brg30 (brg30), Friday, 1 November 2002 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Marlene Dietrich + Howling Wolf compilations (not as a duo unfortunately) in a bargain bin earlier this year.

― stevo (stevo), Friday, 1 November 2002 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I released a cassette on Hospital Productions a few months ago. Does that count? Other people bought it.

― Dave Fischer, Friday, 1 November 2002 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

What's a cassette?

― Callum (Callum), Friday, 1 November 2002 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

The last new tape I bought was The Charlatans' Us & Us Only in 1999 because it was only a fiver, a pricing ploy the record companies were occasionally using to boost chart positions before the format was put to sleep.

Far too much of the best of my collection is on cassette - why does poverty coincide with taste? I bought a car back in May and until I become so insanely wealthy that can I stick a minidisc player in there (I wonder about this when I see the 8 track in the Simpsons' car) I'm revisting my tasteful youth. World Of Twist were good, weren't they? Fluke too, obviously everyone knows about The Techno Rose Of Blighty (sweet, sweet "Philly") but 6 Wheels On My Wagon is another classic.

― Mike (mratford), Friday, 1 November 2002 19:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i think it was something by james. i love cassettes.

― cecilia, Friday, 1 November 2002 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

My first recollection was of the Talking Heads' Naked, then i remembered my road trip to Maine back in the summer of '92 when i picked up a Italian compilation of Mel Tormé from a roadside greasy spoon. I must've played that damned thing 30 times before i got home. It's no wonder i can't get the wife pregnant.

― christoff (christoff), Friday, 1 November 2002 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Queensryche, EMPIRE. CD player on the fritz, turntable in storage. Long time ago.

― matt riedl (veal), Friday, 1 November 2002 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Primal Scream's "Vanishing Point" in 1997. I still bought quite a few cassettes up to that time, largely because of quasi-poverty.

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Friday, 1 November 2002 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought a George Jones Best of at a truck stop when I was driving across the country.

― Arthur (Arthur), Friday, 1 November 2002 23:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think a few things from Mike Landucci's clearance sale earlier this year. Before that, it had been years.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 2 November 2002 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Negativland's Helter Stupid.

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 2 November 2002 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

My first recollection was of the Talking Heads' Naked...

This was probably the second CD I ever bought, but as for cassettes, I picked up about a dozen at the Rhino parking lot sale a couple years ago - two rave comps, Chris Mars, The Hellacopters, cartoonist Linda Berry (spoken word, I assume, haven't played it yet), Ozric Tentacles, and some others. They were 25 cents each, and I buy for curiosity or to have a car version.

― nickn (nickn), Saturday, 2 November 2002 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Skipping 47 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

The last new one was Ray Price "16 Biggest Hits" for my stepdad at Geiger's general store in Laytonville last year. I only got it on cassette because they didn't have the CD. I don't remember what I paid for it but I'd say less than $10.

Ruins "Stonehenge" and "Burning Stone"
Boredoms "Soul Discharge"

Shonen Knife s/t

...all brand new and sealed for $5 each.

― MESTEMA (davidcorp), Friday, 21 October 2005 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe Ash 1977 because it was significantly cheaper than the CD at the time.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 21 October 2005 17:14 (nineteen years ago)

Bought a few at Tower last year, 3/$10:

Boston: Boston

Wow. Tough question. Cassettes are just ::gone:: now, aren't they (though I still have mountains of them in my closet).

I think the last one I bought was for a road trip somewhere.....and I think it was, somewhat inexplicably, The Lion & the Cobra by Sinead O'Connor (I seem to recall the need to hear "Troy" playing really fucking loud.)

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 22 October 2005 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

It was at least 20 years ago — Crown of Creation, Jefferson Airplane.

― I do feel guilty for getting any perverse amusement out of it (Rock Hardy), Saturday, 22 October 2005 03:13 (nineteen years ago)

this week:

nekromantie - demo 1987 (2005 reissue out of colombia)
torturium - deathcult's temple

both on manufactured cassettes, not dubbed on tdk or whatever. cassettes are becoming a metal fetish item these days.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Saturday, 22 October 2005 03:14 (nineteen years ago)

New: probably Radiohead "The Bends" although I'd owned a CD player since, er, since Björk started putting out CD singles & I had to buy one.

Last: Picked up 3 B-52's albums from charity shop for a pittance. A massively wise decision for the awesomeness of the first album alone. I still get them now if it's an artist/album I've wanted to hear for years. 50p to make a decision on a possible CD purchase later? Worth it.

I only have two tiny (1ft x 1.5) drawers of them now. I used to have two full-wardrobe size/length drawers full of them. God only knows what crap must have been in there but most of it probably isn't worth remembering now.

You guys are weird. I buy cassettes all the time. They never cost more than a dollar and sometimes cost a quarter! Last month I bought _Songs from the Big Chair_, _Toto IV_, _Way To Go 1986_, a Mighty Lemondrops tape, a Neds Atomic Dustbin tape...

― Guayaquil (eephus), Saturday, 22 October 2005 05:02 (nineteen years ago)

I couldn't remember the last new cassette I bought if you poked me in the gut with a letter opener.

― Bimble The Nimble, Jumped Over A Thimble! (Bimble...), Saturday, 22 October 2005 05:04 (nineteen years ago)

Gangwe Mobb

They each cost like 8 bucks, but they were probably shipped by boat from Tanzania so I shouldn't complain.

Either the Wrangler Brutes tape-only album (which I've deemed my top record of the last five years in another thread on here, and which has just been reissued on vinyl) or an Ultra Dolphins tape, I forget

― DJ Mencap0))), Sunday, 23 October 2005 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

Tapes are brilliant right now. All kinds of people are still scavenging for 2nd hand vinyl, so you've got to be damn lucky in charity shops, and everybody knows CD's are shite 2nd hand. Thousands of quality tapes being dumped out everywhere. And so cheap! Plus, who gives a shit about condition with tapes??

Found The Clean Compilation yesterday too. 50p.

― MESTEMA (davidcorp), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Momus - Don't Stop The Night when it just came out, only one I ever bought.

― js (honestengine), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

Purchased in the British Heart Foundation charity shop, Clapham Junction, Monday of last week, mint unplayed original cassette issues of The Zoo Uncaged: 1978-2002 (Zoo Records' "greatest hits" comp with early Teardrops & Bunnymen, Big in Japan, Wild Swans etc.) and Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue. Total cost: £1.35. There was also a similarly mint cassette of Terry Reid's River going for 85p but I didn't bother with that 'cos I got sent the CD reissue when it came out. Still sitting there if anyone's interested.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 06:36 (nineteen years ago)

MESTEMA is so OTM. I pick up entire tape collections from garage sales for insane prices like $5 for a hundred. I discover so much great music that way. They're disposable, spend .50 and who cares if it's crap and you might discover something amazing.

Last NEW new tape I bought was Skinny Puppy the Process in 1995. Last "new sealed" was some 80's thing like Devo for $5 a few years ago. Last used tape I bought was Concrete Blonde some time this month.

― -rainbow bum- (-rainbow bum-), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 07:36 (nineteen years ago)

Jesus, I think it was You're Living All Over Me when it first came out in 1987 when they were still plain old Dinosaur. Or it might have been SST's Seven Inch Wonders of The World compilation (not sure how Overkill qualified as a 'wonder of the world' but the rest of it was gold).

Ach no - it was probably a Eugene Chadbourne tape from the man himself in about 1990. I think I wanted to have his electric rake version of 'Naima'.

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:08 (nineteen years ago)

Last brand new cassette was Pinky & Perky's "Reet Petite"/"It Only Takes A Minute" (May 1993), because a friend of mine was responsible for it and I was feeling loyal. (It peaked at #47, oh well.)

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

I am curious why there is a standard issue cassette of the Traveling Wilburys album retailing for £14 at MVE when I can think of at least three charity shops in the surrounding (Notting Hill) area who are drowning in copies of said cassette at 25p a throw.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:40 (nineteen years ago)

Magma - Live
Swell Maps - A Trip to Marineville + Jane From Occupied Europe + Train Out of it

... 99p each, Missing (as in the shop) in Glasgow, about five years ago, same day

― BarabadabaDadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 08:48 (nineteen years ago)

I think the last cassette I bought was C-86, in 1997. It was £3. I don't think I'd bought a tape before that since school, probably something like Dixie Narco EP by Primal Scream. I got a CD player in 1991 and never went back to tapes after that.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 09:34 (nineteen years ago)

Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty in 1999. I had just moved to Australia and only had my walkman to listen to music on. I didn't have it for long as when I parted company with my travelling companions in Adelaide I left the tape in their car stereo. They went to Darwin, and I went to Melbourne where I've lived ever since. I've still got the case.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:24 (nineteen years ago)

Most of the albums from about 1991 to 1997 that I own are on cassette. CDs were just too expensive. Most recent new tape I bought (I *think* it was new) was Redd Kross' Teen Babes From Monsanto, on eBay earlier this year. Most recently released cassette I own is probably Radiohead's Amnesiac.

― Patrick (Patrick), Wednesday, 26 October 2005 22:29 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm, "Only Shallow" on cassette doesn't sound different at all from my CD copy.

― dreamsonvhs, Saturday, 8 September 2007 20:12 (seventeen years ago)

Bought one last night, by a hardcore band called Vogue, at their gig. It's decent. I've bought quite a lot of new releases on cassette this year

― DJ Mencap, Saturday, 8 September 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

"Music Sound Better With You" cassingle and "Who On Earth is Tom Baker" audio book, both in 1998.
For myself, anyway. I bought my mum a couple of Harry Potter audio books since.

― DavidM, Saturday, 8 September 2007 22:31 (seventeen years ago)

by "new" do you mean not-used? Because I buy used cassettes all the time for my car.

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 8 September 2007 22:37 (seventeen years ago)

Bad Religion, 'Stranger Than Fiction' in 2000. I paid the last four months of my parents car lease when they got a new one, so I couldn't put in a CD player, and I owned no tapes... so I grabbed the first one cheap cassette I found at the store and listened to it and the radio for those months.

― milo z, Saturday, 8 September 2007 23:17 (seventeen years ago)

I bought a few tapes the past year of stuff that wasn't on Vinyl/cd (at the time at least) Warmer Milks, Souvenir's Young America, Marzuraan (live).

― Herman G. Neuname, Saturday, 8 September 2007 23:34 (seventeen years ago)

MBV's Loveless sounds so nasty in my Dad's mid-90's Nissan Pathfinder. The feedback is soooo high-pitched it overwhelms everything, most importantly the melodies. It's just noise in my Dad's old car. But on my boombox it sounds normal. I think the critics of this record either heard it or hear it this way.

― dreamsonvhs, Sunday, 9 September 2007 01:36 (seventeen years ago)

Last...Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope, I think? I'm pretty sure the first album I bought on cd was Will Smith's Big Willie Style, so that must be the point I switched over.

― The Reverend, Sunday, 9 September 2007 02:42 (seventeen years ago)

Last bought new: The Empire Records soundtrack, in summer 1996.

Last acquired: Tim Curry, Fearless, from a yard sale, spring 2005.
