Cassette tapes are making a comeback

The only cassettes I still have are personal music recordings that exist only in that format. I've wanted to get a good cassette-to-digital converter gizmo, but it's always been low-priority and I didn't know what product might work best, so I still haven't transferred those.

I don't want to buy a cassette player just to play them. I wouldn't listen to it that often anyway, but I'd like to have a digital backup in case the cassettes no longer player (or if somehow they'd get misplaced and tossed).
 
I"m trying to recall the last cassette release I bought, when it happened and what it was. I'm pretty sure it was in the late-80s and possibly a smaller act that was available on cassette only.
