Cassette Store Day 2015 is almost upon us, and now the full list of available cassettes has been revealed, with highlights including gems by Gengahr, Girl Band, Midasuno, and Alex G's upcoming LP Beach Music.

The Maccabees, Spector, Kaiser Chiefs, and an array of compilations/mixes are also on the hefty list.

Cassette Store Day was founded in 2013 by U.K. indies Suplex Cassettes, Kissability, and Sexbeat, and last year’s celebrations saw the U.S.A.'s Burger Records join the larks o'er the pond.

This year, the names expand once again, with Rice is Nice in Australia, Arch Hill in New Zealand, and Mansions and Millions and Späti Palace in Germany.

Jen Long, the co-founder of Kissability, says: “Cassette tapes aren’t just a format, they’re a culture, and cassette culture is as much about collaboration as doing it yourself. This year we’ve gone even further to try and include as many tape fans around the world. We want as many people as possible to be able to get involved and put out a tape, put on a gig or event, or get hold of that release they really want.”

Burger Records added: “The snowball that is Cassette Store Day rolls into 2015 bigger, better and badder than ever before!!! When we're done spreading the good word of our fave format no one will ever ask "why cassettes?" again!!! BURGER BELIEVE THAT!!!”

Cassette Store Day 2015 takes place on 17 October.
