Cassette Tapes?
Plenty of new (old) stock blank cassettes on Ebay and some newly manufactured ones (such as Maxell UR) on Amazon plus a few specialist websites. The new ones are only Type 1 (Ferric) but I doubt whether car stereos play types 2,3 and 4. New releases are coming out in small numbers though it's unlikely there are any soul releases. A lot of artists sell via Bandcamp as youngsters are coming round to having physical copies rather than streaming. If cassettes have been stored properly then they should play OK. I have a number that are 40+ years old and they still play OK.

Sonny Turner (Former Lead Singer of the Platters) RIP
Very sad news. A fantastic singer.

Poll: Version Battles - Hurt So Bad
Great song. Susan Rafey is nice but lacks a bit of soul, the Philly Devotions is a good Philly dancer but the best has to be Little Anthony and the Imperials. This live version is superb:

Poll: Version Battle - I'm So Glad I Found You
That's so difficult. Linda Jones and the Whatnauts but only by a gnat's whisker from the O'Jays.
-
Poll: Version Battle - I Watched You Slowly Slip Away
They're both great versions but I think the slightly slower tempo of Howard Guyton suits the song better. Teddy Randazzo's arrangement and production is also superior.

Poll: Version Battle - Gone With The Wind Is My Love
Rita but the instrumental is awesome.

Tearjerkers - what does it for you?
Another favourite.

Tearjerkers - what does it for you?
Very well known but such an evocative and sad song.

Show Us Your Great Photos (2018)
Surprised you've never been able to photograph one there though, having said that, maybe they're not as tame as they used to be. Here's one I took in 2007. Interestingly I've seen black squirrels in this country, which are a variant of the grey squirrel, at Stevenage but, unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any photos.

Maybe a bit too funky for some 😎

Poll: Version Battle - I Have No Choice
Johnnie Mae Matthews - but only just. The rawness in her voice makes me believe that she really means it.
-
Poll: Version Battle - I Have Faith in You
No contest - got to be Edwin Starr. He sings it as though he actually means it whereas Doni Burdick just plods through the song.
