Vintage Track
Why were people still buying records into the 80s?
I was looking at vintage records on Ebay and noticed that many groups were still putting out records into the 80's, even when cassettes had been out for quite a while. My question is, why did people continue to buy records even though cassettes were newer and more convenient? Were records more popular than 8 tracks and cassettes during this time?
Many a cassette tape of mine was eaten by the player.
It wasn't too hard to buy the album you liked on vinyl, then put it on tape for portability. That way, if your player ate the tape, you'd still be able to make another copy.
Blank tapes were cheap.
And vinyl sounded better.
