That is so true. I can remember listening to the radio for hours on end to record a new release because the radio would play them before they would hit the record stores. You really had to have a love for music to do that.

Yep, i used to tape records of the UK top 40 on a Sunday evening. Good times.

And, the DJ talking through the first 30 seconds of the song you're trying to record off the radio.

and releasing the "pause" on the right time, then pressing again and if the next wished song dont come for a while presing "stop" taking out the tape and rewinding a littlie bit so there is no clickin sound when listening later, lookin for a chick with good handwriting to make a good lookin track list, finding some cool looking picture from Bravo or such magazine and using the best scissors at home to carve it in right shape to fit the cassette... and so on and on. Great times indeed

Oh yes I would spend hours listening for that one song.

Man those fond memories those were the best time of my life.

Thanks Adam for taking me back.
