Music Cassettes - Main
Introduction
There have been a few music cassettes and CD's made of C64 music and remixes.
Datahits, The Zzap Sampler, Radio Ace are just a few, there are many more.

Chris's Delta Mix-E-Music
Chris, a friend of my brothers recorded this Rob Hubbards Mix-E-Music load system use in the game Delta by Thalamus (the version on the Zzap! 64 Sampler tape).
After listineding to the original recording taken from his C64, I've decoded the order of what was played to make this version.
