It's difficult to find people who have good things to say about cassettes and that is because of the poor sound quality of pre-recorded ones. But back in the mid-1980's, audiophile company 'Mobile Fidelity' (MoFi) issued over 100 audiophile cassettes which they said were better than CDs and in that list were four albums 4 by The Beatles.
In this video we look at the nostalgic appeal of the cassette and put one of those MoFi Beatles cassettes to the test. We also show you how to restore vintage pre-recorded cassettes. Cassettes may not have stood the test of time like vinyl but they're just as much fun!
