The Cassette Tape at 60

[mcwetboy]

BBC Radio Three is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the cassette tape with Casseptember, a month of programming exploring the history of the format. “The season will examine how the format helped to foster local and underground scenes and genres, helping to shape and influence some of the most popular pop, rock, classical and alternative artists of the day. It will also look at the cassette tape’s recent comeback, with many labels and independent artists creating highly sought-after cassette-only releases during an era dominated by streaming and online listening.” Mostly on Late Junction; first episode here. The BBC press release has more details.
