As a child of the 80s I remember all that stuff very well. Other than going to concerts of that nature. Too young for that Im afraid.
I still remember swinging on my swing set and jamming records on a HUGE old motorola tube table top player my dad would set outside for me. So much fun. Even remember accidentally leaving records on top the sleeves and get so caught in the moment didnt realize the sun changes position and find a record warped. Oh well, sad collateral damage of a good time.
Also remember my first portable cassette player. Id put it in a basket on my BMX bike a ride around listening to music. Was an amazing tech achievement for me and many others. Sadly the bouncing would cause the player to stop allot. Again oh well. Was a red GE branded unit if I remember correctly. Sucked up 4xAA batteries quick too.
So many happy, fun filled memories of those times. And music was a HUGE part of my life then as a child. Still is. So happy my dad and neighbors gave me allot of records. Discovered allot of great music of the past. I see digital doing that for kids of this time.
I love that poster for the release of Love Over Gold! That cover rules!!!
Thanks so much for the post. Cool pics and great memories.
