is it all NFL ?

Here is a bit more detail. I attended a Christian high school and during my junior and senior years was first introduced to Christian rock, specifically bands such as Resurrection Band and Servant. Later discovered Daniel Band, Barnabas, Stronghold, Jerusalem, Degarmo & Key, Petra, etc. By the mid-eighties became a Stryper fan and of all the other 'white metal' bands such as Barren Cross, Bloodgood, Deliverance, Whitecross, Sacred Warrior, etc.

Yes, call me 'old fashioned' but enjoy having a music collection- appreciate owning a physical product. Streaming is fine but it does not give you opportunity for ownership of a physical product. I like having the CD mini booklet with cover art, lyrics, liner notes, band photos, etc.

cassettes 😲

Yes, exclusively NFL

Yes, I have a collection of demo tapes that some obscure bands released back in the eighties. LOL.

so you'd get a roaring trade ..

Have not had any trade offers but sell overstock in the collection at the antique mall

Do you know how to preserve that music on a computer? Cassettes degrade over time. Vinyl degrades by listening to it.

More than 2,000 of my tracks came from old vinyl records. I played the records, piped the audio to computer and recorded it, then edited the file into tracks.

I can walk you through it. It's real easy to do, and you probably already have all the equipment you need. Might need to pick up a five dollar patch cable. The program I use is Audacity, which is free.

Stryper... Petra... Degarmo & Key... Back then we thought we were so gritty and hard and cool.

Then Kutless came along and showed us how it was really done.

Then Kutless calmed down and started singing everybody else's songs, just like PC&D. Oh well.

Thanks for the offer, but all of the demo tapes in question have been re-issued on CD. I still keep the cassettes around for collectible purposes.

What is cool is that Stryper is still around and making arguably its best music ever.
