Cassette Comeback

Celebrating the joy, nostalgia and aesthetics of the iconic Compact Cassette and their "comeback"

11/01/2026

Two years ago today (2024), on Halloween, my mother passed away in Portugal after her brave battle with ALS. I remember asking her not to go on this specific day, simply because I never wanted to lose her, not that this day had any added meaning.
She grew up watching my love for cassettes, boomboxes, and Hi-Fi gear, as a teenager, and seeing my enthusiasm even at my current age, somehow made her happy. Through tapes, I was able to bring back the 60s, 70s, and 80s music she once shared with my late father, who was a musician and shared that exact same passion for recording music. I still have tapes he once recorded.
My message today is simple: life should be enjoyed with the people and things that spark your overall enthusiasm. These are the simple, beautiful realities of life that belong to everyone from all walks of life. Music and cassette culture are accessible to almost anyone on this planet.
To keep this hobby affordable for everyone who loves it, Cassette Comeback have added dozens of listings on its website priced under $3. Take a look, and add some tapes to your collection without breaking the bank, and stay tuned for our upcoming Holiday event, 4 years after the last one (2022), which will help cover most of your typical shipping charges ($12~$16 USD).

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving, Canada — and warm wishes to cassette friends everywhere

To all our Canadian enthusiasts, we’re wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend filled with good food, good company, and maybe even a little time to enjoy the music that shaped you.

And to our friends around the world — whether today is a holiday for you or just another Saturday — we’re sending the same good energy your way. May the season bring you luck, calm, and a few unexpected joys.

This weekend’s featured tape is one we’re genuinely thankful to still have around: the BASF Ferro Extra I (1993). It’s one of those quiet gems that never demanded attention, never tried to be flashy, and somehow still delivers more than people expect. In a world where some tapes get all the spotlight, it’s nice to celebrate the ones that simply show up and perform.

Happy collecting, happy listening, and happy Thanksgiving from Cassette Comeback.

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen,

Guess who just resurfaced... yep, me. My last post on CassetteComeback.com was way back in February 2026, so it’s about time I dropped in with something tasty.

Summer’s already two‑thirds gone up here in the northern hemisphere, but the cassette hunt never slows down. I’ve got a few fresh new stacks ready for you! A tight, punchy batch with a few gems that get even sweeter once you throw your Cassette Coins at them for discounts of up to 12%... you know it!

Hope you spot something that makes your collector heart twitch.
Enjoy the rest of Summer 2026.

Everything goes live tonight (New York time) on CassetteComeback.com. 😊🤞🍻🎉

Good day to all my earthly friends. As a great fan of Star Trek, I decided to have some fun with an idea that would have Bumpboxx create a BB-BORG boombox. After spending a few hours with 7 of 9 💚, we had Engineering’s replicator come up with a prototype….

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share this picture of my Aurex PC-X88AD by Toshiba. It's a great sounding deck. It is also the deck that best displays any tape on its cassette well. On display is a 1985 Sony Music Pops C60 (Watermelon), that just seems to have been specifically crafted for this Aurex deck.
On a different note, many prices have been lowered on many cassettes due to 2 recent large purchases. I did not announce it, but some of you have been taking great advantage of the many deals! Good of you! Cheers!

Up for grabs... two early 80's boomboxes for those that have the nack and the knowhow to bring them back to their former glory.
Aesthetically, they are in very nice shape, the Aiwa much more so than the JVC. These do not work at all. They power up, but not much else happens. They are currently listed here at cassettecomeback.com and also listed on eBay. Get all of the information you need in the respective cassettecomeback listings.
Bidding (on eBay) starts at $10 for the JVC RC-M60L and $25 for the Aiwa TPR-990K. Happy bidding! AI helped me with this image!

Just checking in with a very few of these nostalgic Computer tapes. I remember using these first in my Computer Sciences class in High School, Brother Edmund Rice Secondary School in Toronto, back in the fall of 1981... such great memories of my time in High School and the 80's... Oh well. There are only 7 available, and I'm sorry, but I'm only making one of these available at a time. So, whenever one sells, another one will be made available.
For more information go to: cassettecomeback.com
Hope everyone is doing well! Cheers!

Great Tapes Don’t Have to Cost a Fortune
For more info, go to: www.cassettecomeback.com
If you’re looking for quality blank tapes without collector‑level prices, the site carries 80+ affordable Type I and Type II options, all new old stock, all sealed, and all priced far below anything comparable today.
(The photo shows just 37 of them.)
Type I: $1.92–$3.99
Type II: $6.95–$8.99
These vintage tapes still outperform most modern production in sound, consistency, value, and decades of real‑world use show that well‑stored Type I, II, III, and IV tapes hold up beautifully.
One‑stop shopping: Buy 10 or 20 tapes in one order, one shipping cost — not 10 separate sellers and 10 separate fees.
Loyalty rewards: Up to 12% discounts from the loyalty program.
Accurate grading: You get exactly what you expect, with detailed descriptions and no surprises.
And if you are hunting for the rare jewels, those are priced competitively and aggressively against other known sites, but no one should expect gold at the price of silver.
If you want reliability, quality, and affordability in the same place, these tapes deliver all three.
For more information go to: www.cassettecomeback.com
Minimum purchase amount: 2 cassettes, any combination.
Cheers!

Just landed: a colourful South American haul with some unexpected gems…
A shipment of roughly 125 tapes has arrived, mixing familiar favourites with a few surprises, including Sony’s vibrant HIP POP 60 from 1988, complete with yellow hubs, clear shells, and a quality black metallic label (being added to the site now). Only a small number are available, and more tapes will be added shortly as the lot is sorted.
Please find these tapes at cassettecomeback.com and please remember, minimum order is any combination of 2 cassettes.
Thank you!
