Well, there's a general thread for DVDs/Blu-rays & VHS tapes so let's have one for the various physical music mediums as well. It is a shame that physical music is dying out so I figured we'd give it some attention too.
What inspired me to create this was only not due to occasionally picking up some CDs at thrift stores (have made some good finds), but also due to being given a plastic bag full of recordable cassette tapes (owned by the family, of course) by a family member a few days ago (I'm still gradually checking them out to see if there's any interesting or important stuff on them, such as potential old home recordings). These type of audio tapes certainly take me back and I find it interesting that they have seen a revial due to the COVID pandemic (much like VHS has). Listening to them is almost like opening up mystery presents on Christmas: You never really know what you're gonna get, lol.
Too bad that thrift stores in my vicinity doesn't have tapes anymore as I could think of a few that would've been interesting (such as completing the 'Simpsons Sing The Blues' set: I have the CD & the LP so the cassette variant would be neat to have).
Post your recent physical finds and acquisitions, etc.
