I was digging through my tape drawer this week (yes, I still have cassettes) and while not bemoaning the death of tape, did bemoan the lack of success of a handful of incredible treasures which I have only on tape. To my knowledge, they have never been available on any other format, though I am not sure. Three of them— the only three commercially available— may have suffered because of that. More than one person had made reference to cassette as a non-format in their world— to paraphrase them,“better to miss the music than have it on tape.”
