NAC stands for National Audio company based out of Missouri. which they also make the talking books for the blind. I get some of my talking book cartridges from from them as well.
Cassettes renaissance went after vinyl renaissance. I bought near 130 brand new cassettes for last 2-3 years. Little part (maybe 10-15) are home recordings a.k.a. handmade by bands and garage labels but big part - pro tapes from serious labels - they sounds very good! Different genres but most of all are atmospheric black metal and post punk 😊 New fullprinted cassetes (fullcolor picture of album cover printed all over cassette) are mindblowing. P.S. I like my Sony Walkman WM-EX642 😊
I went and bought the Pepto-pink Barbie vinyl! Also, just got the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 "Awesome Mix #3" cassette. That's my third brand new cassette (after 1 & 2).
Last cassette tape I got was POD's the Fundamental Elements of Southtown back in 1999. LOL. But Metallica's most recent album 72 Seasons, I did purchase on CD and really enjoyed it on my Sony CFD-S300 boombox.
Watertower Music is, from what I remember, exclusively a Warner Records label that is their Soundtrack label. The case that cassettes are/were sold is is technically called a “Philips Case”, which came from one of the creators of the cassette, and later CD, Philips.
Additional comment: Often a cardboard cassette single box was squashed but could be reshaped if you put the tape the other way round. The sleeve did make them thinner and sometimes there were inners which could be a poster or a lyric sheet, or whatever. Perhaps a postcard of the size of the tape also? They didn't offer any protection though, as they often fell out of the cardboard and the cardboard could also be squashed almost flat too.
As someone who digs kids’ music and other interesting oddities, this, however, is something that I’d NEVER expect you to cop, let alone talk about! The last cassette I bought-earlier this year-was “否 Place” by Smoke & Vapor only because it isn’t on CD, there were only two copies left, and the cassette had two extra tracks that aren’t available on the digital version. They say that in order to properly appreciate the whole vaporwave aesthetic is to listen to it and experience it on cassette, so I think that the format does this particular album justice in a weird way. I can make better-sounding cassettes with my Akai HX-R5 deck, but it’s in dire need of repair. Warner Bros. Inc./Warner Communications Inc./Time Warner/Warner Bros. Discovery hasn’t owned Atlantic Records since 2004, however, which is now part of Warner Music, a division of Access Industries, an entirely separate company. Watertower Music is the only label left that’s owned directly by the Warner Bros. studio, so the company wanted to keep one of its most successful projects of recent memory in-house, apparently. The number string starting with 07567 is indeed the catalog number. Peace.
12:03.Even today Sony still sells the last radio with a CD player and cassette player the CFD-S70. But the speaker quality is so bad considering that it is made by Sony. I am writing that from my experience.
Record labels have been releasing new albums on cassette since 2015. I am not too crazy about the labels releasing cassettes of full albums with paper sleeves. Looks too much like cassette singles.
I thought it sounded impressive, not knowing the music. The top end sounded nice and clean and I couldn't detect any dropouts. I haven't bought a cassette in decades and would have absolutely no idea about the last one I purchased.
Cassingles (cassette singles) often came with a cardboard cover as opposed to a plastic one; cheaper to make and lighter too, in some ways. Initial thoughts were that it looked more like a cigarette pack - before it was opened, or if it was squashed a bit. The cardboard meant they weren't as solid too. Some promotional cassettes might have done too, not sure about this though. Regarding the Barbie one, I'd assume the album title was changed at some point because the title on the front is 'The Barbie Album', as opposed to 'Barbie Sounds'. Also, on a black background (as you had when the tape was in front of the Sony) it looked more pink; perhaps it's all to do with the lighting? Just saying.
i got some cassettes and i have a technics dual tape deck and i played and did some recordings as well. i liked your sony boom box. i am happy to se a cassette com back now days. first the vinyl then the cassette. 👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀
"I love the fact that you've just clicked on the video about the Barbie tape" Dude, cmon... I've searched for it "so, let's take a closer look, a much closer look. ...I wasn't joking. You guys thought I was joking? We're really taking a closer look" But here you got me, man
hey very cool not really about refinance but nice to know that we can detect again I have a supersonic dual cassette player is fairly new by the way do you know if they shipped my coffee mug yet I ordered it? I think the last cassette I bought was a Christian hymns set on eBay very nice. Haven't bought a brand-new one yet but I do like the nostalgia thanks
Interesting a major label is producing a new cassette of a soundtrack of a current big-hit movie! I guess there is still an outfit that still makes actual tape cassettes. I wonder if it will be possible to buy brand-new blank cassettes again. As for the whole "Barbie" thing? No thanks. The Oppenheimer movie was really good though. As for the music on that Barbie album, well, as my mother used to say, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it". I'll just politely say I am not a fan. 🤢
The last audio cassette I bought was a used(?) Reader's Digest Romantic Strings album of 1940's music. It only set me back a dollar.

The last time I bought new music cassettes was in 1996. Clint Black and Patty Loveless.
I went and bought the Pepto-pink Barbie vinyl! Also, just got the Guardians of the Galaxy 3 "Awesome Mix #3" cassette. That's my third brand new cassette (after 1 & 2).
I just picked up the vinyl today that now completes the Guardians of the Galaxy set.

Awesome 😮❤and pretty cool 😎 love your new barbie cassette tape ❤️
Thank you 🤗
@@Recordology your welcome 🙏
The cassette case is called a Norelco case.

That LOOKS like type II Chromium Dioxide formula tape.
I was wondering… It is pretty dark. It might be one of their cobalt type two… If it’s the company I’m thinking of they don’t have a chromium tape.
These Cassette Casings are known as Norelco Boxes
Thank you!!!!!!
Fun show the last new tape I bought was Nirvana Bleach the cassette sounds great. Got it a couple of years ago.
Sony cassettes from after 1993 rarely play anymore! (I call it sony tape syndrome) it is caused by the lack of lubrication on the tape surface.
My last cassette tape was, i really can not remember 😅. This was fun. Thx for the Memories
you like barbie 🤭

Simple: China quality

Agreed!

I hear bad reviews on the vinyl version, but the CD version has good reviews.

Did you not buy The Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.1 or Vol.2 or Vol. 3 on cassette tape?
I actually never bought pre-recorded cassettes. I would buy blanks (Maxell or TDK) and record my albums so I could listen to them in my car.
I apologize for being "that guy," but the pencil is pronounced "row-gah" rather than "roogah"
Actually very good to know….thank you!
Do you have any turntables recommendations that play 78s and is under $250
"I love the fact that you've just clicked on the video about the Barbie tape"
Dude, cmon... I've searched for it
"so, let's take a closer look, a much closer look.
...I wasn't joking. You guys thought I was joking? We're really taking a closer look"
But here you got me, man
I wonder who the target audience for this cassette is? I can see if this were 1988 when tween girls had the equipment to play this on.
My guess is females in their 20’s and early 30’s with Urban Outfitters cassette players….perhaps some Gen x who grew up with Barbie.
@@Recordology I suppose you're right.

Without Aqua? WTF?!
What lol?
@@RecordologyC-mon! OST needs Aqua - Barbie girl. Just joking 😂
They are credited and the song reworked - there is bad blood between the toy maker and the record company
