What do you look for when you buy cassettes? Do they sound any better on some releases?

sometimes it is a crap shoot when it comes to buying used cassettes at a flea market or a yard sale. usually if you find a cassette in a case that is a good sign, since it was most likely taken care of. i like the analog sound of a cassette, they have a unique sound to them. so it is hard to say if they sound "better" or not but some albums to me the analog sound of a cassette just sounds better than the CD version. like to me back in black sounds better on cassette than CD.

sometimes it just comes down to a cost motive as to why i buy a cassette. i was looking for black sabbath's headless cross album on ebay. the album has been out of print for a little while and on ebay the album was going from 30-50 dollars for the CD. i ended up getting the cassette for 6 or 7 dollars in case all most brand new. a couple of years ago i went to a flea market and found judas priest- painkiller, ac/dc- high voltage, boston-boston, and deep purple- perfect strangers. i got all those for 1 dollar in case and almost new condition.

Boston must sound interesting. I only have two cassette players. This record player I have that plays vinyl, CD's and cassettes and my car.
