That Rhino Records OMIGOD 80's box is a collector's item! That's awesome!

This guy must be in love with you to do this 👾

Nice, that was very generous of him. ❤️

[@kevinkaiser920]

That's so cool, thats an awesome collection of mixtapes and studio albums. I wish I could listen to some of those live recordings. Also that skylarking tape rules.

[@geraldinehifi]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davidlees9096]

Them Maxwell tapes are brilliant that do a Cristal recording on even a bad deck

[@celticpride12345]

I still have a bunch of cd’s💿 and some cassettes mostly from the 90s. Really awesome to see this.

[@Alex_y_Deya]

It is so cool that He kept them all this time, It's a time capsule!!

[@carltwidle9046]

Hi Geraldine. I liked 1980s music. Bands like Depeche Mode, The The, The Smiths, Fine Young Cannibals, Aztec Camera, Blue Nile, New Order etc. I love the Pixies, one of the best groups ever. I like there Album Doolitle from 1989. I saw New Order in concert here in New Zealand in 1984. I liked their electronic sound. I'm in my sixties now. I like some Contemporary music. I actually enjoy Harry Styles. Amazing that someone so young is listening to and taking an interest in old music. From Carl.

[@fhwolthuis]

I love your setup and your enthusiasm, Geraldine! Greets from the Netherlands 👋🏻

[@geraldinehifi]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Demon-xp4hc]

I noticed you like a lot of new wave music such as Depeche mode and the B-52's, I really suggest you try Tears for fears! They are my favorite band of all time and i suggest you listen to their album, The Seeds Of Love. Its my favorite album ever and it hold a very special place in my heart. Great video!

[@summersky77]

Anyone else here who don't use cassettes to listen to old 80s music? I put things on tape that I haven't heard over and over again for the last 40 years. There's so much you can do with tape and phenomenal music out there, who's got time to always be strolling down memory lane. Cassettes for me are portable analog hi-fi. I don't 'lo-fi' my music. Cassettes are more than capable of sounding spectacular.

[@tudormiller887]

Apparently interest in cassette tapes are on the up due to Gen Z and the TV series Stranger Things.

[@summersky77]

@@tudormiller887 That was ten years ago. I think the world has moved on since then and Gen Zs got into it for about a minute until they realized it wasn't a great sounding format, because nobody knew what they were doing and just playing off old stereotypes. That mini-fad has long passed. Cassettes will always be niche...and more fringe than vinyl.

Huge fan of The Three o’Clock! they were part of the early 80s “Paisley Underground“ alongside fellow seen compatriots The Bangles, Green on Red & The Dream Syndicate. These bands all played neo60s/psychedelic music

[@geraldinehifi]

Wow, great info! Thank you 😀

[@stereo999]

The album is called 16 tambourines

[@vladsee76]

If I heard it right you got some songs or albums from The Jam and Style Council. Paul Weller was the singer for both bands. He started first with The Jam and then with Style Council. Both bands have very different sounds and some very familiar 80s hits. A Town Called Malice is probably The Jam's most well known song while My Ever Changing Moods with Style Council. That looks like a great collection you got there. Enjoy the music!

[@geraldinehifi]

I've been enjoying those!! They sound amazing!

[@davidfromamerica1871]

OH the days of lugging Case Logic cassette carrying cases around. 60 cassettes in each case. Didn’t go anywhere without my cassettes LOL. You have a good collection now.👍🤗🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵❤️ I was never into vinyl, too big and a pain to use. I use to listen to a lot of radio, I grew up with radio, no TV, now most all the radio stations have their own apps. I would type in different radio station frequencies AM & FM in the App Store and radio stations apps would be listed. Example: type in 93.5 For AM type 630 I would get radio stations around the World on my phone. I downloaded about 100 of them years ago on my iPhone. I only have one now I use on my phone, KMFA 89.5 classical radio Station from Austin Texas. PS: you can search call letters to.

[@akella728]

the more I watch, the more I fall fall in love. we have so mush in common

[@80s_kid.]

i can't believe the guy parted with that collection, if i got all those tapes i would be totally wowed, that is amazing. i live in Manchester, about 4 miles from where Morrissey from the Smiths grew up, also New order was formed in my town, i also live down the road from where Davy Jones from the Monkey's grew up. UK had some great music talent back in the day. not sure about now though lol.

I think its cool that your into the 80s music, you bring back old memories for me, your too cute, anyway in watching your video I remember that I have a bunch of cassette tapes, also I still have about 30 8 track tapes in a carry case that I bought new back in the late 70s not to forget about all the vinyls I have.I like your cassette player and the vintage McIntosh amp, they are very cool items. Keep the videos coming and be safe.

I still have my Cabaret Voltaire cassette from the 80s. Amazimg artwork was on albums in 80s vinyl. I had all records of Grace Jones due to her style.

JGB could very well be a live show from Jerry Garcia Band. Bootleg tapes from them were very common in that day and age, although it doesn’t really fit in with the bulk of the genre you have here. Would definitely be curious to know more about that one in particular.

[@matthewvidmar3070]

That's from 6/16/82 Music Mountain, South Fallsburg, NY with Bill Kreutzmann on drums, Bobby & the Midnites closed. Great setlist - several years before my time though!

[@jerrytook7308]

That's a great 80s tape collection! I really enjoyed listening to you going through them. I know they're not the best format, but I love cassettes, and have a pretty big collection of my own, also mostly homemade. By the way, that bear pin is actually referencing the journalist/writer Hunter S. Thompson and his famous book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Looking forward to your next vid!

[@KEPHALLE]

Hi Geraldine. The "police guys" pin is actually from the Sabotage video by Beastie Boys.

[@timleelim9930]

Is the "English Beat" the same "The Beat" that did the reggae-ish cover of one of the Andy Williams songs? That song, Can't Get Used to Losing You, brings back memories in my case as my late dad knew it while I initially had no idea, and there I was thinking I was the cool one listening to the "latest" hits of the day.

Hi! Great to see Cool Chicks Collecting! I am also a OCD-collector of vinyl and tapes; My 'Rig' is not as Fat as Yours;: I started buying old Bang & Olufsen pieces from the '80's which was REALLY expensive when it first came out! It's still a bit too costly but WAY CHEAPER than their NEW stuff... I think the Cops.-badge you were given-were The Beastie boys in SABOTAGE clothing ? And can't believe You don't own anything by the Attractions/Elvis Costello! You oughta get the THIS YEARS NODEL album from '78!C I was smitten by my father who, when I was like 15 In played him, GREEN DAY's Dookie whereupon He said, ohh They sound just like Costello... When He then played me THIS YEARS MODEL I had to agree... Love!/ Gustav from Sweden

[@KeritechElectronics]

Lovely! A Broken Frame is one of my fav DM album though it wasn't acclaimed... still not Music for the Masses though. Some Great Reward is indeed great and rewarding to listen, haha! New Order, The Cure - I like them too. And you mentioned Siouxsie and the Banshees, one of my favorite bands. Cool! Got tens of cassettes, most of them is a collection I inherited from my brother. That's how I got to know a lot of music in the '90s. Milli Vanilli, well... pair that with Rick Astley :D
