Happy 50th birthday to the audio cassette! According to this Dutch article (and my amazing translation skillz), it was premiered on August 30th, 1963 in Berlin.
It was the first audio format I owned myself, and oddly my first cassette is now a raer - the Michael Jackson Bad Cassette Gift Pack, given to me by Santa along with a Phillips Roller tape deck. I've still got the Special Notepad, which has a sillouhette of MJ on every page. I'm saving it for when I have to write some special notes. It's that good.
My last cassette was delivered only yesterday, and I was involved in making it: a seance of a 1979 Throbbing Gristle gig. (Without further self promotion, more of that at a later date)
What was your first and last cassette tape?
