i have some oldschool mixtapes from way back that my friends and I used to trade around. but there to important to give up.

may i ask why your looking for tape?

[dabbler]

how much are you willing to pay? I have tons, not too sure if I would part with them all but some for sure....

^yeah same here.

and by "any genre" does that go outside the realm of EDM? and...I'm curious as to what you plan to do with them.

I'll propose $20-$30 for a shoe box full depending on what I got I suppose?

The physical quality of the tapes isn't big deal. They don't have to be original tapes.. recordings are fine. Content-wise, I'd pay more for:

- Classical (classic or comtemporary)
- Jazz/fusion jazz
- 70's rock
- latin american (flamenco, salsa)
- soul/funk/blues
- early electronica

hmmm I'll have a look tomorrow @ home.

I plan on extracting all the tape so that I can connect them end-to-end in hopes of making it long enough to reach around the circumference of the Earth.

hehe, what I really want them for is sampling. I've recently realized the greatness of sampling and would much rather sample from old cassettes than sample cd's/soulseek/etc.

I don't really care if the audio quality is shit, in fact quality degradation is desired.

Thanks everyone! I'll keep my eye on this thread. Send me a P.M if you have anything and want to work out a fair price.

wouldn't you be better off hitting up garage sales and buying bucketloads of old vinyl for cheap prices?
