Cassette tape

The Compact Cassette, also known simply as the cassette tape, audio cassette, or cassette, is a magnetic tape audio recording format. Originally designed for use in dictation machines, it became a popular format for commercial audio recordings in the 1970s, replacing the larger, less easy-to-use 8-track tape format. It was, in turn, replaced by the compact disc format.

Record Shop on Charing Cross Road in London bought used cassettes, as well as used 8-tracks, CDs, and 45s.
