Tapes were indeed faily primitive things, but saying that I've got tapes dating back to 1980 and will still play - I'm currently transferring them to CD before it's too late
My dad has a few of these, the quality has held up well for the last 30 years. Their cheapo LH 90s with the oval window from the same year were another story.

I can't really hear the difference, but I suspect it's because this video was recorded on a tape.

I was quite surprised to see you can still buy blank cassette tapes at my local Asda.

Better high frequency response and less compression at the expense of more low frequency distortion and print-through...

@stevealexR1 I'd rather live with this and enjoy the perfect quality than the poor ferric cousins!

I noticed on the second half of the singing in the ad the sound was off BASF chrome tape with sharper crisper treble!

Thanks for this.

Chrome tape gives sharper crisper treble and a fuller dynamic range capable of handling anything you throw at it.

BASF Cassette tapes are good, and also the reel to reel tape is awsome :)

transfered onto a cd or straight onto an mp3
players like an ipod or psp but retro advert
