The Last Audio Cassette Factory

[Richard Crowley]

"I'm working to train someone else how to do this stuff. But to try and find someone who actually understands tuning up of a magnetic tape recorder is getting really difficult."
Robert Coverston - Chief Technician, National Audio Company

Cut a tape of my favorite songs,
Said what I can't face to face.
I hoped that you would share all my thoughts.
We are young and unimpressed by all you recognize.*

So play it all over and turn it wide.*
Now there is nothing
But a mix tape left behind.
Now it don't rewind.


-- Rewind, by Better than Ezra

"Cut a tape" -- two generations of obsolete technology captured in one short phrase!
