The Compact Cassette, also commonly called
a cassette tape, audio cassette, or simply tape or
cassette, is an analog magnetic tape recording format for
audio recording and playback. Invented by Lou Ottens and
his team at the Dutch company Philips, the Compact
Cassette was released in August 1963. Compact Cassettes come in two forms, either containing content as a prerecorded cassette (Musicassette), or as a fully recordable "blank" cassette. The original Beatles cassette release of "Sgt. Peppers" in 1967, through "Abbey Road (1969)", "Let It Be (August 1970)", and the first release of most of the other Beatles cassette albums in September and October, 1970, just months after EMI opened their new tape duplicating facilities at Hayes in Middlesex in July, 1970. |
