Checkout this Crazy Cassette Tape Collection from the 80's! | New Order The Smiths The Cure 

The police pin is The beastie boys sabotage

What an unbelievable gift! Can’t believe he sent all that to you. Then again, who better to be the keeper of ‘80’s culture?

This girl is a work of art!

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

Fun channel Geraldine! The joy of discovery is what keeps us music fans intrigued. You were gifted some great stuff. Enjoy and report back to us please.

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

Nice, that was very generous of him. ❤️

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.

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

Love it! Keep the videos coming 🙏

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

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

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

lovely video!!! you are encouraging me to restore the cassette deck I picked up a few months ago.

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

That sounds like my tape collection from back in the day. Kind of jealous of that amplifier.☺️

Great collection dear, you have such a great taste of music, please keep those videos coming, love to see more of your music collection, PS I think JGB might mean the Jerry Garcia Band.

Nice to see someone so enthusiastic about something like this. Enjoyed your video.

Yung girl like this with a system like that she knows her stuff love girls like this

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!

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.

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.

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.

love your vids and personality, would enjoy seeing more videos like this where you go over your collection and listen to stuff with us :)

HiFi girls are the coolest! The more the merrier in the community! Female 'music/HiFi/equipment' fan are rare, its greatly appreciated that you are sharing your experiences! Happily, reminded it's not 100% a sausagefest. lol

Love the Beastie Boys “ SABOTAGE “ pin badge. What a generous time capsule gift from the 1980s . Thanks Geraldine for sharing such a gr8 space to indulge in all things music 👾. Superb channel.

I have all my cassette tapes & records back from the 70's & 80's all kinds of music country pop disco etc.

Love your videos shows my dad he grew up with these so it’s cool seeing it and especially seeing a young girl such as yourself that has stuff like this it’s pretty awesome the kids today don’t know anything about this lol 😂 your awesome wish I met a girl like you you seem awesome sweet and kind I think your beautiful btw😊

Very cool. I rescued a cassette collection it has mixed as well as home recordings of cds. I love the artwork the origional owner drew on the j cards. He titled some of the mixed tapes depending on the mood.

I'm an original 80's kid. I want my MTV. Saw it's debut in 1981.

Thanks for covering the works of those 80's groups and artists.

Heh...CDs... I love this!!!! Awesome music!!! And a Sony "Walkman"...wow!!!...You only need a "discman" and a bunch of records... This was a lot of fun!!!

The Grateful Dead bear is dressed up as Hunter S. Thompson. Look it up. Or even better read the book "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas".

great Cassette Collection Gereldine I used to have a cassette collection except they got damaged in flood we had when I was in high school

i have that the the on vinyl original pressing no less. i was lucky to get it. i had been searching for it for a while and found it finally. my favorite song is slow train to dawn from that album.

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

Excited to listen to your underrated albums on you tube.

Im so glad I discovered you on tiktok😊

I remember cassette tapes

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!

Wow, i still have my Cassettes. I jus need to get a player... U Rock!!!

I was absolutely sold on that cassette lot after you pulled out the original *Bad Brains - Live* & the *Steel Pulse - Earth Crisis* cassettes.

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.

So glad that I found you. We have so much in common. Thank you for sharing

Such unique tapes!! Seems like a great collection ❤

She is lovely

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.

Son joyería del pasado y conservado en perfecto estado

I have over 300 mix tapes made from radio music from 1980s.

great collections!

Completely wonderful.

The first tape I noticed was Bad Brains Live. Luv U for that tape alone, second runner up Steel Pulse. Great collection 💯

I too hv around 300 cassette tapes

I hope you enjoy Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus"- Great band! Greetings from the UK. Rhodri.

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.

Your fan mail different 🔥

I used to make mix tapes back in the 80's it was the cool thing to do

A good The Three O' Clock song is Jet Fighter on their sixteen tambourine album.

Amazing video Geraldine !! I'm watching now for a second time !! Congrats !! 👏👏👏👏 I left you some in Spanish... Saludos desde Argentina !! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

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!

I recently got a good used 3 head cassette deck from 1989 on ebay love it, enjoyed your video

I'm loving the wacky 80's themed listening room, sound system, and tape collection! Grab a Nakamichi 3 header if you want to see what cassettes are capable of........

Hi geralding greetings from Turkey please share more videos with us about your collections. Best regards.

That is an excellent set of mix music. Sometimes it was a teenagers way of expressing affection..

First thing i saw was bad brains 😍

XTC skylarking is also awesome

Wonderful!!!

The second one may be a Beastie Boys pin.

Wow ! It's great. Good morning from Rio de Janeiro.

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.

Second pin was Beastie Boys Sabotage

The style council was one of paul wellers bands just like the jam

The Police pin is The Beastie Boys I believe. I could be wrong.

Cool cassettes I love cassettes I have most of all of them I ever bought and I'm old check out this band called Tokyo Groove the songs called Josh on RU-vid these girls rock

Love your upbeat style! Wish there were girls like you in my town (Doncaster,England). I could actually converse somewhat then. The Smiths!! You have excellent taste indeed.☺️

You should check out the band Shrudd

Hello,i'm from Brazil i love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I think the second pin was a Beastie Boys - Sabotage pin :)

I think that pin is a nod to the Beastie Boys.

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

Who needs it on vinyl when you have it on tape now? I think Depeche Mode tapes are more expensive than vinyl. That Pablo Honey tape must be super rare

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

Do you need any NOS sealed cassette tapes? Your vids are top notch👍👍

Hiiii Geraldine it's great to see your videos, I would really like to see a video of you with that The Cure cassette!!!,i still wondering how you can put the sound of that cassette and the sound is so cleeeann in the videos in makes me wants returns to 90's thanks for videos

If you like the 80s style then maybe you like this to -Kaytranada - Chromatics

The policeman pin looks like its a Beastie Boys, Sabotage pin.

Stopped at one of your IG Reel when I saw the McIntosh 420. This catched my eyes and the very next day I'm subscribing to your YT channel. Please make a video on YOUR usage of the McIntosh 420, would be awesome 😎

Avalon is an amazing Roxy Music album

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

Good taste in bands.. Big fan of Matt Johnson (The The) too.. The Style Council was the Modfather’s (Paul Weller of The Jam) venture into white soul and pop.. Check out “You’re the Best Thing”..

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.

I still have a briefcase of tapes that I made from the radio back in the day. It too bad the players today all suck. Or they are crazy expensive.

Do you feel like an archeologist? Strange treasures..

Geraldine 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Geraldine, you blew my mind when you said you like The Modern Lovers 5:28. I love them , too. So few people have heard of them. You likely know, drummer Dave Robinson went on to play skins for The Cars for their entire career. I'm from New England so I love all this stuff...are you in New England? Thanks for your videos on RU-vid. Burps. #Roadrunner

14:00 If you some day will purchase "Remain In Light" by Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club's 1st album, you should also look for Jerry Harrison's "The Red And The Black" and of course "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts" by David Byrne/Brian Eno :)

Hello Geraldine. I love your channel. Btw, can you do a video on reel to reel players, and tell if you had those tapes cleaned, or if they do degrade, or loose sound quality, and etc. When it comes to those i am certainly a noob. Is it worth getting a reel to reel player, or is it too much work. Etc. I do remember my paternal grandmother did have one of those reel to reel players. ❤️

It could be Jerry Garcia Band..

im also an audiophile, i listen to same era of music, much better than todays music

Am converting my cassette collection to digital - check it out - plenty of rare New Order/Smiths/Morrissey stuff.......it's a long process!!
