    meanwhile my $20 mono reissue sounds just lovely
    I’m trying hard to get into mono. Minus those old stereo recordings with really hard L&R I still can’t buy mono, unless it’s only in mono 
    Mono should sound just like listening to a cassette tape w headphones back in the day, no?
    You make mono sound like poor quality. It's not.

    I think I only ever owned one or two cassettes. By the time I was about 13 I went straight to cd’s as they become dominant right about then 

    kind of missed that whole era

    What are you insane?  Listening on a cassette was pure analog and sounded fantastic. I don't know what you listened to but we always preferred headphones and a tape.

    You did miss out then.  You never got to understand the pain of forward and reversing through songs or grabbing a pen to fast forward the tape and save your battery, lol.

    I enjoy both. Usually I spin mono just because it sounds different than what I'm used to.

    Actually pulled out my Beatles box this afternoon.

    My first car had a tape player. I had one of those cassette things that connected to a disc man, which skipped at every pothole. 

    It’s amazing I didn’t just give up on music then and there

    Preferred to what? I'm thinking about fidelity today and a tape is not high quality compared to high quality vinyl,  cd or FLAC. Cassette tapes are very low on the quality spectrum.

    I rarely bought pre-recorded cassettes. But since my car at the time had a cassette deck, I made a ton of mixed tapes. I still have a box of them.

    Weird that I can't find this on Discogs (yet?) but it's out, I've got it, and it's great!  Mid period Dinosaur Jr,: glorious, ear-bleeding bummer rock at it's best.  Side one starts off a bit slow, murky and weird, then gets loud and nicely weird.  Side two is total LOUD, weird, and glorious.  I'm really glad this is an EP, otherwise I would be bothering the neighbors with my loud tinnitus.

    Or the joy of a cassette being ate by your player and getting mangled.

    Your post triggered me.   I loathe casettes both audio cassettes and video cassettes so much.   Always getting your favourite tapes chewed up in players.  It was supper annoying.

    At least with records and cd's, if you take decent care of them they go on forever.. but putting a tape in a player... often it felt like roulette :(
