TWO BOXES WITH RECORDED TAPES

1980s EA/NL/0130

A relic of a bygone era, when recording music meant pressing play and recording simultaneously on your boombox, hoping to capture your favorite songs from the radio. Although, it wasn’t only about the songs – it was about the art of the mixtape, the unique covers adorned with pen drawings, imitated fonts, and doodles. In the car or on the walkman, cassette tapes were the perfect companion, until the CD came along and changed the game. But for those who remember the days of rewinding with a pencil and meticulously curating their tape collections, the cassette tape will always hold a special place in their hearts.
