MEMORY TAPES - 4TH JUNE 2010

Memory Tapes is back in the hands of the punters after 6 Music's own Tom Ravenscroft took control last week. Eleanor Ratliff is in the driving seat this week, and the story behind her Memory Tape is...

"Me and my mates used to make tapes for each other, especially once I started to drive and needed day-tripping sound tracks. I made this one (circa 1999) and kept one for myself. It's an odd mixture there and quite clear which albums were on heavy rotation at the time! Not entirely cringy."

Not cringy in the slightest Eleanor! The artwork looks like:
