[78-L] The audio cassette is making a comeback

[Spats]

Hi!

Strange that this topic has come up.
I recently bought a new cassette player with a USB outlet and am 
transferring all of my 1970s live recordings to CD.

Despite your negative comments about cassettes and considering I 
didn't even buy top quality cassettes (I couldn't afford to back 
then), I'm sometimes surprised at the more than acceptable acceptable 
quality of sound. I used to record live concerts of mainly veteran 
Jazz musicians. Sadly, they are just about all gone now, but I have 
otherwise unrecorded sets from everyone from Earl Hines to Barney 
Bigard, Benny Waters to Benny Carter, Snub Mosely to Clyde Bernhardt, 
Jabbo Smith to Mary Lou Williams, Ella Fitzgerald...well, you get the 
picture.

Playing this music for the first time in over 30 years, I'm often 
REALLY enjoying it!

Meanwhile, I'm transferring some more 78s for another one of my 
upcoming Gramophone Shows!
