Another Friday rolls around like the spindles inside a C90, and with it comes Memory Tapes; TeamLaverne's favourite feature.
Memory Tapes, for those not in the know, celebrates the listeners' compilation tapes made by them, or for them.
This week, the tape in question comes from James Cran from Edinburgh. He writes... "I can't remember the tapes I made years ago but more recently I got fed up of making iPod playlists for my girlfriend so last Easter when I went to visit her while teaching English in France.
"I made a playlist, popped it on a memory card and slipped that into a C 90 I bought off eBay, I even put the music on the C 90! Not that anyone has a tape player to play it on...! My girlfriend (Siobhra) was thrilled!"
If you're interested, the tape looks like this...
And the rather fine tracklisting reads....
First Girl To Leave Town - The Blizzards
In The Beginning - The Stills
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
A Message To You Rudy - The Specials
And A Bang On The Ear - The Waterboys
Peace Frog - The Doors
Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis & The News
Monkey Man - Toots & Maytals
It's A Wonderful Life - Sparklehorse
The Jazzstep - Courtney Pine
Such Great Heights - Postal Service
Tune in to the show on Friday 29th April to hear what Lauren plays.
If you're inspired by James' contribution and would like to submit a compilation for Memory Tapes, then you should send us an email stating that fact.
