Rare Alan Watts Electronic University Collection – 61 Original Cassette Lectures
Offered for sale is an exceptional collection of 61 original Alan Watts cassette lectures, issued by Electronic University, along with a hardcover copy of The Collected Letters of Alan Watts.
This is one of the largest Alan Watts cassette collections I’ve encountered. The lectures span decades of his teachings on Zen Buddhism, Taoism, comparative religion, meditation, consciousness, psychology, philosophy, mythology, and Eastern spirituality.
Many of these lectures are difficult to locate individually, making this an outstanding opportunity for collectors, philosophers, meditation practitioners, educators, or anyone interested in preserving Alan Watts’ work in its original analog format.

Condition
The tapes are housed in their original hard plastic cases.
Cases show light cosmetic wear consistent with age and careful storage.
Labels are clean and easily readable.
The cassette spines are blank by design, so I have included numerous high-resolution photographs of the labels. Please zoom in on the photos to view the individual titles. The photographs are considered part of the description and show exactly what is included.
Due to the age of vintage cassette media, the tapes have not been individually play-tested and are being sold as a collectible archive.
