My first music cassette was 'Blast off" from Ktel. It was a mix tape from the 1980's. Wink

"The Cars" was recommended to me by my aunt's boyfriend at the time (1978). He let me listen to his MC first. To get it I had to go outside and get the cassette out from the in-dash-deck of his little yellow Fiat. it was very cold winter time... the holidays at night . He was very strange for the time. He contemplated recommending IGGY & STOOGES but thought it was a bit much for a 14 year old that had been force fed disco and ABBA on top 40 music radio. I listened to it on big, cheap head phones in my room for the next hour. I had only am/fm cassette--I had to convert any album to cassette on my dad's Hi-Fi, There were no home tape to tape dubbing recorders then. Next day no school! I took a bus down to a local music shop, they had a seperate cassette area. You had to ask the guy at the counter to look at them. It was strange because this was a combination head shop / music shop and the employees were freaks but played cool music. I checked out the Album first and hesitated for a moment when I realized the album art-work would not be part of the cassette. I think a cassette/8-tracks cost a buck more than an album. $6 if I remember correctly. That was a lot of cash to me, so I didn't buy many tapes or albums (reason why I am making up for it now?). The music shop had a NEW system installed to play vidio tapes and I watched DEVO. Buying my fist NEW tape, "The Cars" that was a good day.
