This. There used to be a pair of terrific late night/early morning programs on CBC called Brave New Waves and Night Lines. The host of Night Lines, for the two weekends preceding xmas every year would play alternative tunes of the season. I had five or six sets of cassettes that I made by selecting the tunes as he played them.
- hit record as song starts
- decide whether I want to keep it
- If so, all good
- if not, quickly stop, rewind, find my initial stop and wait for next tune
Made for some interesting mixes and especially transitions between songs.
- hit record as song starts
Still waiting to make my first vinyl purchase (40/M/UK)
First album was Guns'n'Roses - Use Your Illusion 2 on cassette.
Mate bought UYI 1 and we copied and swapped.
