Look at this! Another cassette tape discovered in one of my boxes of "treasure"!
Seriously, you may be wondering who on earth would need blank cassette tapes these days?
Those heady days of "Mix Tapes" are long gone but ....
Believe it or not there is a hard-core underground movement that just loves analog cassette tapes, particularly recordings from years ago which were made by musicians & bands live on stage, practise sessions & demo's. Also the good old family history recordings with the Grandparents telling all about their life all those years ago. All of this stuff is irreplaceable and needs to be protected.
Problem is, old tapes are fragile (cases, lubrication and mag tape all give up the ghost eventually) and like everything that man creates, they do not last forever. Wise people make "safety recordings" of their precious cassette tapes ... safety recordings are standard practice in the professional audio industry, no matter what the original media that was used to make the recording.
FUJI PHOTO & FILM Co. (JAPAN) - Audio Cassette Tape
Magnetic tape used is made where? Package doesn't indicate this
Cassette fabricated & assembled in China
TYPE: DR 60 (C-60)
Standard oxide coating formulation, commonly referred to as Type I or IEC I (120uS bias)
C-60 means there is up to 30 minutes recording time on each side
A good "general purpose" recording media, intended for the "every day" user - this is not metal formulation or in the class of a Quantegy tape but it is fine for general "backup" use.
The complete cassette package remains in the original unopened SEALED (factory cello wrap not shrink wrap!) packaging
