Back in the day, when I bought a new record album, I also made sure I had a brand new Maxell blank cassette to record that very first play of the album to. I still have the albums, but I got rid of the cassettes years ago. In the 70's it was state of the art. I'm kind of glad that the kids are keeping it alive for nostalgic purposes.
Of course, that cassette in GOTG would have sounded like trash in real life if it was played as many times as the script alluded to, but that's the magic of hollywood for ya!
