Dear All,

Any pointers or comments would be greatly appreciated.

My car is from 1982 and so is my car audio ie pioneer tape deck ("with" auto reverse!!😏) My question is in 2 parts and i will keep it concise (ish).

1. Does anybody sell cassette tapes anymore? ie I'm talking really about the ubiquitous rare northern modern soul compilations which were around, a guy in Camden market had millions of the things for a fiver each but i am going back 25 years or so, is this something that nowadays you just simply can't buy because there is no market for it, or am i looking in the wrong places and tape selling and swapping still exist?

2. I know a friend of mine had Sam Dees "The show must go on" and Luther "this close to you" both on cassette and I am certain from memory they were legit releases but can't find any evidence of their existence anywhere. I remember cassette tapes being around all over the place, but where have they gone? did people chuck them, tape over them, were they destroyed? or simply did a huge amount of great soul albums throughout the 70s 80s only get a vinyl release?

As requested, any help with this would be appreciated as I'm getting a little bored of Olivia Newton Johns Greatest hits and Boogie Tunes Volume 1 both on a loop. Before you ask no i am NOT prepared to dump my pioneer cassette "with" auto reverse😏

Big Thankyou
