It was almost dark when he picked up the cassette on his desk. 20p from a junk shop.
"What year do I think it is?" he thought. "Who in their right mind listens to tape in 2017... Apart from me?"
He read the spine. 'Depeche Mode Ultra.' Not a band he was really into, but he dropped it into the deck and pressed play. A push of the Dolby C button removed the hiss and he watched the header drag the tape across the spool.
The music kicked in. And he gave a grin.
"Better than I expected." he thought.
