You get all the hipster cred of retro packaging, all the joy of large physical artwork, all the sonic benefits of digital, and all the cost and inconvenience of vinyl, in one amazing product. Everyone wins! --Geoff Somebody where I work collects laserdiscs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only way at the time (I think) to get the original Star Wars trilogy. But seriously ... an audio-only laserdisc album (with flippable sides!) would be sweet. --Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahh- Schnoo Schnoo Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hey @Simonon I think you might like this guy on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5I2hjZYiW9gZPVkvzM8_Cw He collects and uses obsolete formats for music, I've really been getting into watching his channel. I've learnt about formats I'd heard of, and found a few I never knew about. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janjuggler Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) Hi All, I notice on Bandcamp a lot of artists are releasing 'Limited Edition' cassettes instead of CDs . Also noticed in the commercial Classifieds on Monday a 'top of the range Elite model' Laser Disc was sold pretty quickly by Len Wallace, so someone has a use for them JJ Edited August 29, 2019 by Janjuc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenm64 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I was reading that cassettes are relatively cheap way of upcoming bands to release their own music in small batches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betocool Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I need to remember to bring to Oz my cassette collection from Chile when I go there in February. Some jewels include: - The Way We Walk, vol 1 - Genesis - The Works - Queen - We Can't Dance - Genesis - Some South American Beatles compilation, 20 Greatest or so - The Beach Boys 20 Greatest for that matter All Genuine Chilean Limited Editions y'all.... Man... I should have a serious look! Might pay for a few month's mortage, or just be worth the trip! Then again.... I might find them among my 1997 vintage MIB and 1994 USA World Cup T-shirts... Oh, hang on, sorry, this is my stop... Memory Lane. Cheers, Alberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking last week to a very sensible and media savvy Perth band leader and she said its all about "physical product and a download code" for the current punters. They listen to the download and the tangible cassette comes in at about 1/5 of the cost of a small vinyl run.

Hergest Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I've read the last few pages and been biting my tongue. Today I was looking for something to play in the study while it was belting down with rain so dug out a tape I'd made in February 1990 from a Fish cd i'd borrowed from a mate, (home taping never did kill music) and it sounds bloody awesome without any mention of it being a 29 year old recording. The naysayers are wrong, if done right it is still ,(as it always has been) a viable and excellent format. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
