Favorite brand of blank cassette tapes (old heads)

What was your go to back in the day? Sony, Maxwell etc. I remember some used to have terrible quality and some didn't. I think Maxwell was the best but I can't remember.

Also how many did you buy in a pack? Or did you just buy 1 blank at a time (budget wisr)

There you have it

The remainder of this post can be spent reminiscing or talking about the second best. Pause but these tapes even feel better than other tapes when you hold them in your hand.

These must have been the expensive ones then. Some I remember I could only afford to buy individually.

Ugh, memories.

The pink, yellow, blue and clear Memorex tapes looked dope. My sister had those.

I bought whatever really. The maxwell ones above were more expensive.

Later it was mostly the maxwell's in the red pack.

Once my Dad brought home these Denons. Way more expensive.

Then I went to the store, saved up money and spend $4 more on these crazy Denon tapes. They were gray, with blue and had shapes like a shark!

These were the Memorex ones I was talking about. 80s vibe to them.

Those Maxell's were the shyt. There were some quality Sony ones made specifically for dubbing off CD's as well

I can’t help but think of Death Certificate seeing this. Had the dub and didn’t cop the CD until the 2000s

Just found a few Maxells from like 20 years or more ago while packing to move. Had a mix of some recorded underground radio stuff and old demos from back when I thought I was going to be a rapper ...

That's crazy dope.

Some mixes I taped off of 105.5 and 89.5FM in Toronto were perfect.

Those radio djs - got it so right I became obsessed with their specific versions better than the albums.

Like Krs' Wannabeemceez sped up just a little faster - the DJs ruined it for me by making it a little better.

The only answer is Maxwell
