A Clockwork Orange — Beethoven Mini-Cassette

[niibunny]

Finally was able to make a set. My cutting of the cover and label is not as sharp and exact as I would like so will have to try again . Thank you SquidMan!

You need only to post here or PM SquidMan, who is the creator of the files. It would not be appropriate to share these without his permission

Great job replicating the graphics on the case and cassette. Microcassettes were in fact used as a music format and are almost identical to Minicassettes, although they never became popular. Around 1979 the Type IV "metal cassette" was invented, using metal tape to provide superior sound quality. A few companies thought that the new format would lend enough fidelity to the microcassette form factor to make them suitable for playing music, and a number of tapes and high end players were produced by Sony, Sanyo, Fisher, and a couple of other companies.

Commercially-released music on this format is rare, but does exist. Here are a few pictures of this obscure little medium.

Again, great project! Just to be clear, this is not intented as a criticism of your build. Just some (possibly unnecessary!) background info about how life imitated art.

Also, popping in to say that there was indeed a brief push to put microcassette in the home as a music format. I have most of the tapes, actually. along with countless custom ones.

Ever since I first saw A Clockwork Orange, I've been interested in getting my hands on the mini-cassette that Alex plays in his bedroom.

After doing some research, I learned that mini-cassettes have never been used as music format, and have only ever been intended for voice recording storage. The Beethoven mini-cassette seen in the film must have been a custom-made prop.

I tracked down some vintage Norelco brand blank mini-cassettes (they are identical to the mini-cassettes used in the film, unlike some other tape brands) and recreated the case cover art and tape label to be as screen-accurate as possible. And after some very meticulous and careful cutting and pasting, my replica was complete:

SqidMan, you are brilliant! Do you still have the files? I would be really happy if you could send them to me to nandayo@hotmail.de

I'll make copies for myself and when my brother comes visiting me next time, he's gonna be so jealous (maybe I'll give him a copy for christmas)! It was his most influecing movie when growing up, probably watched it a hundred times, albeit in german -

Thank you so much in advance, what a great project!

Edit: After finally successfully being registered, this post has been published. In the meantime I have been able to score a mini-tape player on ebay, as well as 4 cassette tapes, however, only two of them have cases. It seems really hard to find cases for mini tapes anyway, especially ones that are black on the back. So it is not an easy task to recreate this prop exactly as in the movie. Really great job for those who did it, and especially for you, SquidMan. I'm gonna try my best and also I'll try to record some Beethoven to the tapes.
