NOT to be outdone by the vinyl revival, the humble cassette tape is set to emulate the resurgence in retro music.

Cassette Store Day is taking place on Saturday and as Redditch’s only independent record shop, Vintage Trax will be celebrating the special day.

It will also be attempting to set a world record.

During the morning, with the aid of volunteers, a continuous line of cassette tapes will be carefully set up before being toppled, domino-style.

“We are collecting as many cassettes in their cases, as we can between now and Saturday,” explains Vintage Trax owner Ros Sidaway.

“It’s a bit of fun and we hope to set a record for the most tapes toppled."

The shop, which specialises in quality, preloved records, cassette tapes, CDs, music T-Shirts and books, has delved into the archives to replenish its cassette tape offer for existing and new customers alike.

It will also be stocking a number of new releases from the 50 plus titles that are being launched to mark this year’s event.

“Although vinyl records are our most popular selling music media, we are selling more and more cassette tapes each year,” said Ros.

“At festivals, tapes are popular amongst VW Camper Van owners who still have radio cassette players in their vehicles, as do many classic car owners.

“Often the cassette tape version of an album would include bonus tracks, due to having longer playing time than vinyl records, which makes cassettes very collectable.”

As well as tapes, Vintage Trax will also have original pre-loved cassette tape players for sale.

The day runs from 10.30am until 5pm.

The world record attempt will be at 3pm.
