I stumbled upon this website while looking for some really old ghostbuster merchandise, and i mean old so i doubt anyone under 20 here will be able to help.
I am trying to work out where i can buy ghostbuster audio storytapes, the cassette tapes, they look like this.

They were story tapes that i would listen to as a young kid, i only vaguely remember them but would be nice to here them again as i no longer have any.
I have searched and searched on google, i am from England if that helps, anyone know where i can locate some?
I would imagine they are collectors items now so may find they are out of my price range.

Here's a tiny tiny smidge of info on them, that may help in your search…

Unfortunately, the site that the article refers to (that apparently had mp3 copies of the records) doesn't seem to exist anymore.

I love how you posted a picture of a cassette tape. I would hope that it's not a completely forgotten format.

As for the tapes, I remember listening to them myself. I know they had Cold Cash & Hot Water as that was one I still have lying around somewhere. I may have to convert it to mp3 someday. Still have the book too.

I know I'm not the oldest here at only 26 - but I can admit I had The Ghostbusters Meet the Ghost Riders on cassette with the book (By Peter Pan and had a green cover) and the Ghostbusters Meet the Laser Ghosts on RECORD. (**Titles may not be exact, but are close)

I have no idea where they are now though…very sad.

Good luck with your search! The only thing I would know to do is keep checking ebay.

Cold Cash & Hot Water.
That certainly fired a neuron, that was the name of one of the tapes, i can refine my search a bit now, was a bedtime thing, would listen to it before sleeping.

I have both in MP3 format with all the pages of the book, which were touched up by me. PM me your e-mail and I'll send it tonight.

Sit back down grandpa, kids are talking…

I jest. :-) But, seriously…book & record? I didn't even know that combination existed. Or is this some terrible prank where you'll just laugh because I believed you…

EDIT: Granted…not a very good prank!

Nope, totally real.
