Do you remember...
...putting your tape recorder up to the TV when RTR Countdown was on to record "Like A Virgin", only to have it ruined by your mum walking in and talking half way through.
...waiting for the radio announcer to stop talking with your fingers hovering over Play and Record, ready in case he played a song you liked next.
...stopping, rewinding, playing, stopping, rewinding, playing your favourite songs so you could write down the words.
...dubbing a friend’s Talking Heads tape using High Speed Dubbing on your double cassette player, thinking you were on the cutting edge of technology.
...forgetting to set the counter to zero at the start of the tape, so you’d have to guess where to stop fast forwarding to find your favourite song.
...playing a tape so often it got stretched and the music would go all weird like it was being played underwater.
...the sadness when the cassette player ate your tape, especially in the car.

...the joy when you managed to cut away the damaged part and splice the ends together with sellotape and it actually worked.
...wondering if you'll fit one more whole song at the end of your C-90.
...taking the tape apart so you could swap the reels over to play it backwards and hear the subliminal messages.
