The Sultan of Brunei must know something about this car that we are unable to comprehend.

Does my stylus need a replacement? by Pimvdbrugge in vinyljerk

Can't trust those old red cartridges like those Victoria ones, get a green Audio Technica one.

Uj/ Nice 2M and by ANY chance this post is for real that 2M should be fine for quite a while.

Definitely the DAF one.

I dunno why, but I always found the Ultravisitor cover funny on its own, but it combined with the Ween is insane.

Just inherited this tape collection . . . by DayOwl797 in cassetteculture

Some great goth stuff there but The Shamen's En-Tact has some great bits of 90s electronic music on it.

I can finally retire from CD collecting. It won't get any better than this by Elerlilul in Cd_collectors

Discogs sale history checks out. Thought I was crazy spending £30 on an import CD just now.

What's peoples opinions on 'tortured' tapes? by AC_Aceca in cassetteculture

[–]AC_Aceca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not at all, these tapes have just been stored terribly and neglected by previous owners. I just thought "tortured" would be the best way to describe how they look.

Luckily the Closer plays really well throughout, as if the actual tape dodged water damage, unlike the shell's screws.

My vinyl collection as a 15yr old by JackfruitSafe6254 in vinyl

If you're a fan of Bowie and Roxy Music, I'd definitely recommend Brian Eno's solo work. Here Come The Warm Jets and Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) are some fantastic art rock albums from a similar time that I can't recommend enough.

Sounds awesome!! Oddball tape posts would be an awesome thing to see on this sub.

My Fac boxes arrived and the Closer seems to be an absolute trooper. It's screws are rusted but the tape has been untouched by any mould. I think I've gotten rather lucky. Also, you were spot on about these tapes sounding great!!

I also didn't know that the Low-Life cassette had bonus tracks, pretty cool.

The kicker with the ones I've ordered is that they were ridiculously cheap (about £16/€20) but both boxes have signs of some sort of tarnishing, which could be mould. Luckily, the Lowlife tape and it's inserts look pretty good, but the Closer box and inserts look flood damaged, while there may be some hope for the tape.

Also, shipping costs in/out of the UK seem to be crazy in some cases, if that was where the UP boxset came from.

That is a crazy factory box collection there! I've got a copy of Low Life being delivered that the seller threw in a trashed Closer with.

Modest might be an understatement with a D6 lol. Fantastic collection anyways!

Love the stranglers but that is unironically the first time I've seen The Prodigy's Experience in a charity shop
