I acquired some Ampex music cassettes that have been sealed since 1969 or 1970. Will they still be playable after sitting unopened and unused for 53 or 54 years? And how good do they sound? Let's find out!

Time flow:
0:00 50+ year old cassettes
1:17 Ray Charles
2:46 Harpers Bizarre
3:58 Peter, Paul & Mary
5:06 Mantovani (with pressure pad repair)
7:11 Solomon Burke
8:12 Don Ho
9:11 Pricing
9:40 Why didn't cassettes catch on sooner?
