If you are looking for Cassettes then Bandcamp is worth a shout. A lot of artists there release on cassette and they've even got a filter in their search to find bands releasing on this format.
- meh, as a vinyl junkie i can't get excited about cassettes. the quality sucks, they're vulnerable to all manner of damage, etc.hans_glib
- but i s'pose if youre too young to have used them first time around they must seem funky...hans_glib

- Yeah, I don't get the reminiscence here - they were a fudge for their time, but most cassette quality was .. well, less than brilliant. Love the format though.detritus

- yeah can see the novelty but as a format it was terrible looking back, hiss (or with Dolby it was very muffled quality), chewed up tapes often, finding tracksfadein11
- was a ball-ache even with that jump to next track tech... Vinyl has stood the test of time for a reason, great sound quality, artwork, moving a needle is afadein11
- nice experience. Really don't get this coming back and it's been about again for a few years now.fadein11
- it's a way cheaper way of small labels to do a physical release though (as opposed to vinyl).fadein11
