I love the Cassette Castle!
I have been treated with nothing but respect by Cal and his "tape knights." They even named me "Cassette Queen" the day I bought 100 R-120 Recoton blanks so I could tape the audio off the TV for season 3 of Baywatch Nights.
: Yes, it's true, I was Freddie's assistant manager in the cassette section back in the late 80ties and early 90ties. I tell my wife that when it comes to running a music store that was when I learned everything NOT to do. How NOT to handle inventory. How NOT to treat customers and employees. How NOT to stiff suppliers. Thanks for the education, Freddie! When he closed up the cassette section, just cause some girl he was trying to impress laughed at them, it was a happy day for him (we were moving twice as much product as his beloved record section, read into it what you will), but a fateful day for me. I swore that one day I would open a store that would give cassettes the respect they deserve and keep them going into the 22nd century and treat the customers like kings and queens (The Castle Concept!) And after a decade of raising money driving long-haul lobster trucks for my uncle and dreaming and planning and developing contacts throughout the cassette head nation, I've finally done it. And the enthusiatic response from my customers makes it all so worthwhile. Thanks for the motivation, Freddie! And don't think we don't know who's been crapping turds at our door every night. Didn't you ever hear of a security camera? Dubs available to anyone on request, if you think you can keep your lunch down.
: Your pal,
: Cal
: : AS FOR CAL HE IS A IDIOT THAT USED TO WORK FOR ME. HE KNOWS NOTHING OF NOTHING AND ONE BEST DAYS IN MY CAREER WAS THAT HAPPY DAY I CLOSED DOWN THE CASSETTE DEPARTMENT AND CANNED CAL AND THE OTHER CLOWNS WORKING IN THERE. CASSETTES ARE STUPID ANYWAY. THE STUPIDEST MUSIC PLAYING INVENTION EVER INVENTED. NO SICH FRAGEN HE GOT SUCH BIG INVENTORY. NOBODY WANTS THEM BUT MORONS LIKE HIM.
