@jjss49 mjq on cassette -- awesome!!! Yes, sounds wonderful. I was getting into Jazz right at the time LP’s, cassettes, and CD’s were all available. Glad I still have these cassettes. In fact, wish I had more of my old purchases from that period (mostly 80s-early 90’s) were on cassette than CD’s. Today will primarily be a cassette day, as far too often, they sit in their racks getting ignored ;-) |
