Celebrating the person who changed the way we listened to music
A major inventor in making music more accessible has passed away. Lou Ottens died this week at the age of 94. He was instrumental in creating the cassette tape, which allowed millions of us to create and produce our own mixtapes.
That technology was huge for anyone who appreciated music. It allowed us to record our favorite songs from our favorite vinyl albums. Soon all music was available on the cassette tape. It also allowed us to create mixtapes for our significant other. Sending powerful, emotional songs through the power of cassettes. Lou worked for Phillips Electronics and was born and died in the Netherlands.

It’s been three decades since Ringo Starr founded his All Starr supergroup and took the stage with some of rock and roll’s biggest luminaries, creating an exceptional legacy of performances of some of the greatest hits of all time culled from Starr’s extraordinary catalog as a solo artist and as Beatle, as well as the All Starr Band members’ substantive songbook.
In celebration of this milestone, and just in time for the holiday season, a new limited-edition retrospective hardcover book titled “RINGO ROCKS: 30 YEARS OF THE ALL STARRS,” will be sold online exclusively beginning Wednesday, December 16 at juliensauctions.com.
