Sony UX-Pros are high-quality Type II cassettes. These were made in the mid-1980's and probably early 90's. In this video, we compare two cassettes from two generations. As always, thanks to the wonderful vintagecassettes.com for historical info.

This fairly cheap BASF would have been a great, cheap tape for recording voice or lo-fi music back in the day. Music: "Beyond Memory" by NINA - bit.ly/3ljKnSM As always, thank you to the wonderful vintagecassettes.com

Did you know JVC made audio cassettes and not just video ones? Me neither.

Unboxing a vintage Sony HF-S blank tape from 1986. These are my faves of all the blank tapes I own.

This is a near-complete US set of sealed Sony blank cassettes from 1986-87. All I'm missing is the Metal Master!

One of my Grails of blank cassette tapes. Couldn't wait to share this. The Metal series (along with the Metals Masters) would have been expensive then, and they are astronomical now. The highest-tier tape, you couldn't get a better recording than on this.

This is one weird, cheap tape.

Decent Type-II tape from the early 90's - CDs were starting to take hold, and TDK's packaging reflects that these (Type-II's) were good for recording from CDs.

A higher-end Type II Memorex, this HBS would have been a great cheap tape to record some music on to and would have sounded pretty great on chrome.

One of my favorites from my childhood, the Sony CD-It series was an attempt to get people to still record their own mixtapes, or convert CD's to tapes in the 1990's. This one features a cool red shell and slide case.

This low-end Memorex dB probably found itself into many answering machines back in the day.
