For completeness sake of the Beatles 1, I also found the Beatles 1962-1966 compilation on XDR HX-Pro cassette and on Compact Disc, and the Beatles 1967-1970 compilation on Compact Disc, both sourced from pure analog masters.
The latest audiobook on cassette that I also got at a thrift store is from Carol Higgins Clark from 2003, briefly played on a JVC portable from 1982 and sounded good to me.
The other cassette from 2000 that I got earlier was a press kit of Steve Bell, a Canadian Christian Singer/Songwriter, and played fine on my Nakamichi CR-1A with CrO2 (Chrome/Chromium Dioxide) tape formulation, Dolby HX-Pro, and Dolby B-type Noise Reduction.
Got a Beatles 1 compilation cassette from 2000 from a local thrift store and sounded great on my Nakamichi CR-1A with 24-bit digital remastering, XDR quality control, Dolby HX-Pro, and Dolby B-type Noise Reduction.

"Although one day in the life of a school teacher is pretty much the same as the next, at night you wish you were dead. Not that I'm bored." - Miss Brooks (from the recording transcribed using Riverside)
I've picked up the Dirty Dancing (1987) 2012 double pack on Blu-ray from a book sale to compliment my 20th anniversary DVD that I got earlier.
I've recently acquired a Nintendo Wii on Halloween, courtesy of thrifting! Isn't that amazing?
1. JVC HR-XVC37U - Both DVD and VHS works
2. Panasonic PV-D4754 - VHS works, DVD does not
A fun fact is that I tried the Panny on my Commodore CRT (as it has no unified output for VHS and DVD, VHS is composite only), but on the Progressive Scan VHS JVC machine, I used a 1080p Samsung LED monitor with Component Input for the best quality of the VHS and DVD outputs.
Bought two DVD VHS VCR Combo Players from local thrift stores with built-in DTS decoding (stereo only) via analog and digital outputs:
1. JVC HR-XVC37U (with Unified Progressive Scan VHS and DVD outputs, no extra DVD-Audio functionality)
2. Panasonic PV-D4754 (with extra DVD-Audio functionality, VHS is composite only)

While I was out last month, I found Plumo at the Farm for Windows 3.1 and 68k Macintosh on CD-ROM from 1999! Among the other titles I recently got is the 4-disc edition of the World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia 2000 for Windows 95. This was a major upgrade to the 1-disc edition that I got previously during my childhood!
I recently got a hold of a copy of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 40th Anniversary 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray combo set from Amazon, and it appears to be one of Steven Spielberg’s foray into family adventure films from a far away planet to our own home: Earth!

I've finally added a PlayStation 4 Pro to my computer and video game collection! Started playing The Sims 4 (Free!) on that new system. It's a worthwhile addition to my PlayStation collection in light of the limited stock of the PS5! -
