So just for fun, its 1982 and Dire Straits have just released "Love over Gold", you have a Sondek, a Dragon and a Phillips CD104. Do you buy the LP, the chrome tape or the CD? I'm listening to it on Tidal right now but that wasn't an option back then. oh no okay wait 40 years.

Probably buy a dustbin to put that cr@p in!
For real music, it would be the sondek every time!

Of all the great albums from that year, you have to choose that tat.
Sondek everytime regardless of album or genre.

I only picked it because I was listening to it at the time and remembered they used to release chrome cassettes which I think was usual, at least I didn't pick Brothers in Arms 😉.
I picked the equipment of the top of my head items everyone would proberly know.
Cant remember the price of CDs new LP's where £4.99 to £6.49 in Our Price I'd guess £13-£15, I remember I bought summer of '69 for £9.99 and that was cheap first CD I'd bought for a tenner. but that would have been 84 or 85

Yep, pretty much the same. I used record the top 40 on a Sunday.

Used to sit by the tape deck and edit the presenter out. Only used to play it in the car.
It was the Tony Blackburn and Tommy Vance era.
I started with Alan Freeman, before moving on to the rest.
Hit play below and tell me you don't remember Tom Browne's music 'bed' for the chart rundown:

Thought Alan "Fluff" Freeman was a lot earlier? Listened to him on other radio programmes "Not 'arf, pop pickers"
There was some real rubbish then....but I hate chart music a lot more now.
Well, if we're talking any later than Apr. 82, I wouldn't have been listening to much at all, as I was in the RAF working 12 hour days making parts to send to the Falklands Task Force !
We felt we were really doing our bit supporting the frontline - unfortunately most of what we made went South on the Atlantic Conveyor which, if you didn't know, did not have a happy ending.
We did at least show the rest of the world that this little country can still pack a punch.

Me. Just not a singles person. Only ever bought one in my life and that was for the 'B' side on the 12" version, a 13 minute live version of Heaven And Hell. Even these days with Spotify and Tidal, it's albums not single tracks. Each to their own.

Me too, also not a singles person, never bought one. Also rarely had much interest in the music that got into the top 40.
