Excellent article.

All seems a bit like hard work though doesn't it?

(Not to mention the hard work you'll have to do to be able to buy them!)

In my classical travels, these sometimes pop up among the vinyl listings on ebay when you search by cat# or artist / title... and always at a high price.

Have never come across them in a charity shop, but every other boot-fair I come across one stall that will have a couple... but if the tape is not melted / warped or tangled and mashed, then people often ended up using the boxes to store tins of wax or grease in the garage.... found a Beatles one once, which made me all excited, then I opened the box and found a reel of a kind of electrical adhesive tape in it.

On a related note though, I have noticed within the last couple of months that there's a bit of a lift in standard cassette tapes values... even the old Deutsche Grammophon classical ones, and obviously the nostalgic Walkman culture has boosted old eighties pop cassettes.
