I have a few of the MA-R metal-bodied cassettes. Wish I had bought more at the time, they were perfect. I even had my Nakamichi cassette machine calibrated by B&W for the MA-Rs.
Nowadays I don't use cassette, but may have a few unused TDK 'D90's kicking around somewhere. I'll see if I can fish them out.

The 'SA' first appeared in the mid 70's, the 'SA-X' late 70's..

Lovely. I don't remember seeing Denon cassettes back in the day.
The majority of mine are TDK AD-90s.
The great thing about blank cassettes was that on long journeys you'd thoroughly immerse yourself in an album, due to only having two albums per cassette. With digital, people just flit from selection to selection as if music is merely a Various Artists experience.
