Some Cassette Tapes
Found some cassette tapes today when one of my workers was going to dismantle them to remove the magnetic tape and the paper label and weighed the plastic for scrap. I looked into them and found some interesting tapes like that of Sting, John Mayer, and Norah Jones. Then I just went and buy them per piece to add to my collection. Althought compared to vinyls it is fairly new but I think in the future cassette tapes will also be a collectible item.
An audio cassette or a cassette tape is a medium to store sounds and music. It is used with a cassette player or recorder and a magnetic tape is used to store the sounds. Philips was the one who invented it in 1962 but gained popularity in the 80s in great part to the Sony Walkman. During the year 2000 people used it less and less because of the advent of compact discs and downloadable music like mp3s.
Brand New Day is the name of the album of Sting it was released in 1999. The length of the album is 48:49 and it was under the A&M Records music label. It was his sixth solo studio album. The album earned Sting two Grammy Awards.
