Gah, sorry guys. I checked the url http://c-90.nm.ru/tapes.htm, but not the root: http://c-90.nm.ru/, which had been posted before.

There's something strangely satisfying about being the original poster of a popular repeat link.

Polar Alert also has a nice exhibition of cassette covers. I get all misty eyed when I see the Agfa ones...

It's worth pointing out (because it's a good blog) that all of these links seemed to have been culled from MusicThing's "Cassette Tape Week" last week...
