Hello Dear Felow collectors . There used to be a thread ( hopefully not lost forever ) on the old site which in my humble opinion i think it had some valuable info with pics from LP Records that had a boombox on the cover or at the back of the LP. A few days ago i was browsing the Hip-Hop Section of a Record Store and i saw a couple of LPs with Boomboxes on the cover . Thought i d share and Revive this old thread . The First one is from Shock depicting a Sharp GF-85853 and the Second one is From Grandmaster Melle Mel depicting 2 (!!) Pioneer 909s I will be back on topic later with a third Cover which i dont remember right now and i have to go home as i have somewhere the title written on a note .
I wonder when we're gonna recover the unvaluable information in the Database. I remember this topic in the old site, I even contributed to it. Nice to see my boomboxfella deech digging it Great stuff btw!
So heres the 3nd Cover i promised from Doug Lazy - Gettin Crazy plus 2 more pics from the old thread !
Here is one more i got yesterday. Its a Greek release. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/4442126?ev=rb Can anybody id the boombox featured on the cover?? Tre can i ask you a favour and bring back the Original thread if possible from the old site witht the original pics and replies plus the original author of this thread in particular? I am asking because i read that you did save the majority of the threads from the old site.
I second deech's request of restoring the old thread, it's full of great info. I haven't checked it -- I have no time-- but the box looks like an Aiwa to my eyes. Model number can't remember, and I have one! Memory fades, I grow old... :|
That's great Deech it's lovely to see good old threads regenerated ! Already good stuff guys but Brutus find wins in terms of elegance and noble style !
Thanks to Michelle’s amazing work on the old database and Google here is the original thread. http://www.stereo2go.com/topic/index.php?board_oid=193392314111653362&content_oid=331887649659592563 My favourite is the Chart Hits 83 double album. The picture of the Sharp VZ must be almost life size.
This is a great pic Capstan I love it. I talked with machaneus and i also saw the videoclip of these guys. There are a few boomboxes there too. Longman great that you found the old topic ! I reread it and enjoyed it again. The Chart Hits 83 2lp album was sent to me from member Northerner a few years ago and you are right about the Sharp VZ-2000 . Now here is a release from 2013 that belongs in this thread too. The Clash Hits Back. A Hitachi TRK-8180 , a Sharp GF-9191 , A Sony CFS-65 and i cant identify the 4th one.
One more LP with a boombox on the cover. Discovered while digging. I cant identify the boombox , i ve never seen one like it before. Heres the release though. https://www.discogs.com/Master-Genius-Lets-Break-Into-The-80s/release/259595
wow, didn't even know there was a new release, i thought they stopped around 2009 (?) do you have any further info's ?
