This week's Memory Tape is rather appropriate considering we're going big on Father's Day on Friday.
The man behind it is Adam Maunder, who writes...
"I don't really know if this particular AR-90 is in the general area of suitability for your excellent 'Memory Tapes' slot, but I thought I'd send it along & see what y'all thought nonetheless.
"It's called Mindless Music for Driving, and was a project of my father's, designed I assume to give us kiddiewinks something to sing along to in the car. What this meant in practice was to ransack a load of his old compilation LPs and pick out a selection of UK & US pop hits spanning the late 50s to the late 80s, and I'm bound to say it was something of a success; I've still got the thing languishing in a drawer, and find it strangely comforting listening all this time later, whether or not I'm on the road."
Nice idea Dad; shame you didn't teach your lad any photography skills though; look at the state of this photo!
