My former business was primarily the importation and wholesaling of Vinyl LPs, 12" singles and 7" singles, plus one or two other variants. I did dabble in cassettes a few times (....but not 8-tracks, as they were by then, 1978, dead in the water), mainly to supply to shops who asked for "special orders" for their regular punters. The trouble was, when I turned up with the cassette tape from the US, no later than seven days after ordering, I would get "....sorry, they've changed their mind", or "yon granny was washed away in a flood, and they're at the burial now...", you get the picture..... I do actually recall two cassettes like that, which I think I still have......
