cassette tape. Album sales growing by 28% last year.
With 440,000 total sales may not seem like a

From the early eighties to the early nineties until C. D. S. Came around.

the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume two.
Which makes sense
because the mixtape of seventies soul hits plays
a prominent role in the film's storyline.
