Cassette Tapes 1985/86

[Guest Brett F]

I used to buy tapes off somebody in Yorkshire (may be Barnsley ?), it was all mail order, huge lists Northern, Newies (Modern) etc, around 1985, 1986, i still have loads of these old tapes all track lists were typed etc, at the time other than actually meeting people and swapping tapes this was a great way to hear stuff (outside of venues) and then hopefully pick up at some stage on vinyl. I still have all these tapes by the way. I imagine there will be others on here who did the same.....

I started doing, buying and swapping tapes in 1972, and carried on till the early 90s.

I still have 500+ in the loft in boxes.

The one's I did myself for myself, I didn't put down track listing ( loads of stuff can't remember what they are.)

I couldn't imagine forgetting names or titles back than.
