One of the things that brings back so many memories from my early childhood upto my 20s. The cassette tape as one of the things that I loved as it had my music on it and I love music. We used blank tapes to record songs from the radio or if you had the twin deck on your stereo system you’d get that elusive album from a friend or someone, and record the whole album. Or ofcourse you made your own mix tapes.
TDK was my jam. We had Sony and some other brands but TDK as the one I loved! I used to buy so many of them so I could my favourite rock and some pop songs & artists recorded on them if we couldn’t get the particular album in the shops.
I made so many mixtapes. I would give them to friends and in particular, at the age of 17, to a girlfriend – songs i thought at the time were some of the best romantic songs. The girlfriend is long gone but I do love the songs just as much.
