Unlocking Pandora's box
I'm in love with Pandora. My wife is happy about this - she could love Pandora, too. But now, me and Pandora have got stuck in a bad patch. She can no longer sing in my little shell-pink ears.

Tapedeck.org
is a project of neckcns.com, built to showcase the amazing beauty and (sometimes) weirdness found in the designs of the common audio tape cassette. There's an amazing range of designs, starting from the early 60's functional cassette designs, moving through the colourful playfulness of the 70's audio tapes to amazing shape variations during the 80's and 90's. We hope you enjoy these tapes as much as we do!
