Can I get that on 8-track?
I got a call today from a man who said that since the female manager didn't know what he was talking about, he needed to speak with a male manager. I really wanted to turn him over to the store manager who would have wrung him out. But I picked the call up and realized why there had been confusion. This guy was not looking for cassette tapes, but for the old plastic cases that you put them in. Woah! What decade are we in? Does anyone still sell cassettes anymore? I told him that we no longer carry accessories for 8-tracks, vinyl, or cassettes.
I remember back in high school when I would go to Camelot Music (now FYE I think) and check out the new singles on cassette. They were usually 99¢ and since I had little money that's what I would get. Funny now you can download songs for the same amount. But that was a story I'll tell my kids about one day. Back in my day we had a magnetic tape in a cartridge. Sometimes it would get stuck in the tape player and the tape would go all over the place! Ah, those were the days...
I'm feeling old now, so I'm going to go exercise my inner child.
Ah yes.... cassette singles in the little paper sleeves. I had several myself. I was just wondering the other day what happened to all of my tapes.
I remember my first car stereo was a 4 track that came out about 4 or 5 months before 8 tracks came out. I know that just about the time I got enough money saved up to buy it 8 tracks came out about 2 weeks later and made it obsolete. All I could ever afford to buy for it was a James Taylor and a Neil Diamond tape.
wow, i remember going to Camelot to look at the cassette singles too! i know i still have some of those at my parents house. not to mention the MTV Live Mariah Carey tape, where she still had curly hair and wore clothes. lol
You'll go blind.
