To meet the growing demand from more senior music fans, the record companies are now releasing music on tape again.
Ian Brown, from Island Records, placed an order of thousands copies of the album 'Words For You' when its 4,000 copies on cassette vanished within weeks of hitting the shelf.
"Many of our customers are over 85 and a lot won't even have upgraded to CDs, let alone mp3s. So we thought we would give it a go and made 4,000 copies on cassettes. All of them were sold out in weeks of going on sale last month," said sources from the record company.
