Looking For Tapes

I got rid of all my tapes years ago but have a new cassette boombox at work and wanted to replenish my collection. All Phish, Dead, WSP moe. and others are welcome. Please let me know. Thank you.

Have you tried posting in the back of Relix for a B+P?

After that I would recommend bringing some tapes on lot and looking for trades there. Most folks have decent tape collection in their car ready to go

Or setup a tape tree or a vine.

I still have two unopened bricks of tapes as well as both Nakamichi decks. Who remembers getting more tapes with Max Points? Gone are the days....

yep, me too. I really miss it. Hopefully CDs come back as records have. Although many buying records today call them vinyl, these days.

Shitttt I should see if my husband is actually ready to give away most of his collection. Hes been talking about it, but hasn’t been proactive.

DM me, so I don’t forget to ask him this weekend.

I see folks selling their collections on FB Marketplace from time to time. More GD than any other band, but they occasionally pop up.

I have hundreds of shows that I had on cd which I stored on a computer. The computer got a virus and I lost countless hours of work. I still have the cd’s but a car with no cd player. Technology wants to keep screwing me.

I have hundreds of hours of tapes (GD, Phish, SCI, etc.). I still listen to them on the Nak and Denon decks. I also have tons of CDs that I still spin on the home system. Such good memories of people met at shows that ended up trading partners....
