OK, so after walking around the flomarkt (fleamarket) today and spotting only a GF800 that I passed up, (incidentally, I bumped into ghettoblaster68 at the market who also told me that space was getting tight at his place too!) I headed on home. On the way past the stalls I noticed a row of tapes. Well, I'm always interested in tapes, so I took a look and what did I find but the most colourful selection of blank tapes I hae seen for a long time. The seller had quite a few pieces of each design but I wasn't gonna be geedy and so I took one of each of the ones I like (there were loads more I didn't get). Anyway, though not boomboxes, I believe these are intrinsically linked to our radios and love thereof, especially since I also found a great AIWA demonstration cassette, with 3 Beatles tracks on one side and blank on the other which one would normally get when buying audio equipment such as a boombox!!

The perfect buddy to my TPR950e.

P.S. I also found a brand new copy of 'Soundpieces: Da antidote' by the Lootpack for 12 euros, which is rare as hens teeth, and fetches at least 3 times what I paid for it normally from the record stores around here IF they have it. All in all a great day!

Some fruity pics -

Unfortunately no info on it whatsoever. However, I just did a search and a green one is on the bay right now with 1972 in the title!

Wow! Nice rare finds! Especially 120 minute length cassettes.

I like the Star Wars tape! Is that a bootleg soundtrack?

Very cool, that is a great tape display.
Congrats on your new cassettes.

Thanks for the comments folks!

Its certainly not a licensed product. The first side is the London Philarmonic Orchestra playing 5 of the main Star Wars tracks (but no bar song sadly), and the second side is Theme from 2001, plus some other lesser known 'space' tracks.

Yeah, the selle asked me if I was gonna make some mix tapes with all of them, and I told him that I'm actually a designer and just really like the old school designs on them. I'm gonna build a picture frame that fix perfectly around 20 of the tapes. Next week I'm gonna go back for more!

very finds!

NICE!!!

wow! beautiful. im jealous!
