There’s something almost retro about cassettes, recording songs to play in your car like you’ve come straight out of a 1970s American road trip film, legs hanging out the window as you speed along the freeway on a hot, summer evening, dusk chasing after you. You might think cassettes are a bit out of date when you walk into music stores like HMV and Head and see rows upon rows of CDs, but they still serve their purpose. For instance, not all cars are fitted with a CD player, so there is nothing you can do accept use a cassette to play music whenever you get tired of the radio.. If you’re over the age of 18, you will more than likely remember the days of peeling off a long white sticker to slap on your newly recorded album, scribbling the title on in black biro. CDs are an excellent modern gadget that most of us probably couldn’t do without, but a cassette is sort of nostalgic. We can bet you've got a labelless gem in the back of your wardrobe somewhere.
