Cassettes

[ken garner]

agreed. All my surviving complete shows I've been digitising over the past 6 months for y'all were done on TDK D, AD, or for some of the for-Brambles shows, Maxell UDIs (shop must have been out of TDKs). These tapes had all been gathering dust in boxes unplayed for up to 20/16/10 years, and all I had to do to get good quality for ripping was push the pitch control dial on my current TEAC double-deck up to about 2 o'clock. That's pretty  impressive for a junked medium. I used to buy boxes of ten Ds or ADs like it was buying bread. Then in 93 I became a radio critic and got sent about 20 preview tapes of dull Radio 4 discussion shows every week, and miraculously found I had no further need to buy new cassettes,
