  How do you think the cassette was held on to the magazine cover?

    normally way back then it was by glue.

      That lovely gummy stuff that would roll off the glossy cover.
      • zabzonk 4y ago
        i would not say that it was lovely, but it generally came off without tearing. i suppose you could do potentially obscene things with it, once you got it off. not that i not do any such stuff, of course.

        Also known as snot tape.

      Really? My memory of early Your Sinclair covermount cassettes is definitely that they were stuck on with a strip of tape that usually stripped off some of the cassette label when it was torn off. The tapes weren't even in boxes - gluing them to the cover would have been a recipe for gumming up the reels.

        I definitely remember a sort of rubbery glue. I never had a Spectrum, so maybe different mags did different things? But of course this all a very long time ago!

    "sticky back plastic" usually :-)

    With Sellotape, of course.
