Courtesy Johannes over at 2nd rec HQ, this is a fascinating archive of cassette models from over the years. Johannes toed the TDK line, but I was something of a Maxwell man — I can still picture my teenage bedroom floor littered with gold, black and white sticker backing from the peel-off labels. (Funny how TDK, Sony and Maxwell Maxell [duh, thanks Piotr] all eventually merged their design sensibilities, more or less.) Those TEACs are pretty fucking fly, though.
