Tokaido Cassette Tape

Here is another artifact from my personal collection.


A TOKAIDO cassette tape from the 1980s (most likely). Despite its Japanese sounding names, it is apparently a West German product.


Read the marvelous description of this particular sound reproduction technology:

TOKAIDO cassettes are manufactured to the highest demands of the recording industry and represent new advances in gamma ferric oxide and chromium dioxide formulations. Accicular magnetic particles dispersed in a unique binder system ensure improved maximum output levels (MOL) and provided you with lifelike sound reproduction over the range of modern recorded music.


And this is what is recorded in the cassette and has been for 30 years.
