did you ever hear of D-Cassette?

it was real to real tape put in Cassette format, made by sony back in the 70's (around 1977) now a collectors item

buy a 40 track recorder, they are the best

>>We never had 8 tracks in Europe

So ,we never had 8tracks in France.Yours was a 'made in Germany" tape or an import?
I have few 8tracks i found in US,Leaves,Ultimate Spninach.it was as artefacts.I have as well some real to real.
Concerning D-cassette,i know about it but never had,never saw one
Do you like and know germans bands? DAF,Xmall Deuchland,Malaria....
I have a 430 bet on the air,so what first? Cassette? 8 tracks?
Now listenning at some french rap.Not bad ,but such a violence in the lyrics!
