    Great Find!!! In my younger days I did not know about Mike Fremer, ‘The Last Crusader for Vinyl” and CD Sound was my reference. Given my lowly stereo then and a total lack of education re. canned music I tend to excuse myself... but even then I could hear the difference between hi-speed dubbed cassettes with fancy booklets and LPs. Pre-recorded cassettes in 1990 were priced as LPs, at around $12, CDs at $16: why would anyone buy a cassette of Wish You Were Here instead of LP was beyond my comprehension! The response I had from my co-workers was a convenience of a cassette to be played in a car vs a hassle of recording from LP
