You may be of a generation to whom the phrase ‘Gold Top’ describes a bottle of milk. But when it comes to Beatles cassettes that phrase takes on a different meaning.
Welcome to episode 2 of Fixing A Hole, The Beatles podcast you didn’t know you needed. In which my co-host Mark Wakely quizzes me on the history of Beatles cassette production in the UK, and in particular, how the album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was released in this format.
Along the way we discuss the so called ‘Gold Tops’ and even their friends the ‘White Tops’. Plus, Dolby System, XDR, and 8-Tracks. Come along for the ride and have a Magical Mystery Tour through the world of Beatles cassette tapes.
If you’re a Beatles fan, or just love music we’d love to hear from you.
