Love Overdue (song number 6 on Crosseyed Heart) is great. I have it on CD and vinyl double album.
I think the title of this thread is wrong. A single is a two sided vinyl in a picturesleeve.
I think that format of this song was probably released today. Wonder what will be on the b-side?

I've never bought an album by someone in three different formats all within months of it's release - vinyl, CD and cassette.
I've bought new cd's to replace scratchy vinyl or warped cassettes, and have bought cassettes to replace scratchy vinyl back in the day.
I've even bought vinyl along with cd at the same time before (I did with Crosseyed Heart for example). But throw in a cassette and this is a first!
Are there any artists out there who release cassettes anymore? Or is this just a freaky Keith thing?

I was wondering the same thing. I thought briefly about buying it, but I wouldn't play it, don't even know if the cassette player still works.

Perhaps Keith is one of the only major artists to release a cassette these days, but there's a lot of new bands releasing their work in cassettes. There's even a Cassette Store Day in USA.

Now this is something completely new to me: there's some records being re-released on reel tapes: [tapeproject.com]

I have never found a cassetteplayer that didn't sooner or later "eat" the cassette. Then I would have to unwind the tapematerial out of the machine, inevitably wrinkling it, more often than not breaking it, so I would have to repair it with scotch tape... *shiver*, and then you would get used to how at certain points at certain songs you would hear the scotch tape.
Cassettes were a cheap way to hear an album instead of buying it, but that was before internet.

It's the clutch on the cassette player that wears out. It's easy to replace for people who know what they're doing. Study the subject, or find a good repair guy. The latter is the easiest

No, the easiest used to be just listening to it on vinyl, and now the easiest is either the CD or YouTube (or vinyl).
Is there any (sound-quality related) reason to prefer cassettes?

However, sound-wise, I'd take tape sound over cds any day.

If you´re talking about cassette-tapes you have won the prize for the joke of the century
With a good turntable and a good cassete-recorder and a good blank tape you can get copies of your LP´s almost as good as the original. But the pre-recorded tapes from the artist´s label that are for sale in stores sound horrible on every tapedeck. The last tape I bought was MJ´s Wandering Spirit because on release day the store had only got the cassette-version...no CD, no LP. As I expected, the sound was muddy as always with pre-recorded tapes. Some weeks later I bought the CD and the sound was - as I expected - a trillion times better.

Exactly, that´s the one.
I later dubbed the CD on this muffled sounding original tape and then it was sounding good. Used it in my cars for years.
Ears may be different, but to say a cassette sounds better than a CD is a very exclusive opinion, imo.
