30 augustus 1963. Berlijn. Lou Ottens klikt een plastic doosje in een apparaat. Een beweging. Hij drukt op play. Muziek.
Het past in je jaszak. Het weegt bijna niets. En het verandert de wereld. 🎧

You'll never be able to tell me Philips didn't realise their Compact Cassette would primarily be used for pirating

Hmm. Maybe it's time to buy a TEAC W-1200 (and an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB while I'm at it). Yeah, in terms of raw quality, cassettes suck, but even though I haven't used any in decades, I always liked the format. Two words: mix tapes!

I still haven't decided if this is the coolest C-cassette or just a really bad idea that looks super cool... The use is horrible, but as a gadget - a good conversation starter.

Long-awaited addition to #Scotch. The usual model CX, which I unexpectedly could not find for a long time, now the set is assembled.
