This event is widely celebrated in Europe, Japan, Australia, China, Indonesia, and the U.S. However, it can be celebrated all around the world.
Record shops, musicians, record labels, and audiophiles celebrate this event.
The inauguration of the first International Cassette Day was held in 2013.
A collection of UK-based record labels created International Cassette Store Day. DJ Jen Long, Matt Flag, and Steven Rose were the ones involved in the creation of this day.
Here are some extremely important historical aspects related to this fun musical day dedicated to releases from bands and albums.
The traditional way of celebrating this day is to visit a record shop, buy the cassettes, and listen to them on the cassette player. Your local record shop might have your favorite singers’ songs for you. Also, learning about the history of cassettes and how they came to be so popular is another way of celebrating this day. Organizers like Wichita Recordings, Bella Union, Kissability, Suplex Cassettes, and more have limited releases on this day.
If you have cassette tapes, take them out and listen to them on this special day. You might also commemorate the day by recording something on blank cassettes if you have them. You might even go to the store and buy a cassette to commemorate the occasion.
Wichita Recordings, Bella Union, Transgressive participates with limited releases on this day by bands including At The Drive-In, Hard Skin, The Flaming Lips, and Pulled Apart By Horses.
The labels involved in the first celebration this day were Sexbeat, Kissability, and Suplex.
In the year 2013, over 50 releases in cassette editions were supplied for the celebration of this day.
Collectors are particular about the overall condition and the value they obtain from each purchase. Therefore, all music cassettes must be in excellent shape. However, even though the overall value is high, collectors want to ensure a high return on their investment.
Cassettes began being popular by 2001, with less than 5% market share. The following year, music businesses in the United States stopped making them.
Radio 1 (BBC) DJ Jen Long teamed up with Sexbeat Records' Steven Rose and Suplex Cassettes' Matt Flag to create a day dedicated to the cassette tape. On September 7, 2013, the first International Cassette Store Day took place, with over 28 stores stocking unique, limited-edition cassettes. In addition, live concerts were held at a few of the stores.
