MEMORY TAPES

We've all made them, and now we celebrate them... Lauren wants to know about the compliation tapes and CDs your friends, lovers and exs have made for you, and the ones you've made for them.

Dig one out, take a photo of it, scribble the tracklisting in an email along with your contact details and email it to Lauren. A bit of a back story about the compilation would be nice too; when you got it, who you made it for, whether you discovered some amazing new music as a result...

Then, Lauren picks five songs and plays them all on a Friday, exciting eh?!

This week's Memory Tape comes from Andy Redfern. Andy writes... "The tape was from Anna, a Swedish girl who I was in love with at the time. The tape was called "Coping?!", possibly referring to my inability to move on! Naturally, at the time I ignored the messages contained in the last four songs of the first side" Bless him. Anyway, here's the cover:
