MEMORY TAPES - 15TH OCTOBER 2010

This week's Memory Tape comes from Mike Rawlinson - and it's not a tape, it's a Minidisc! Remember those kids? Mike writes...

"I've dug out this mixtape that I made for my girlfriend in 2003. I was 24 at the time we met and had grown up through the 'Britpop era'. She was only 19 and had seemingly missed out on the great British bands that came to prominence during the mid 90s.

"Indeed, when i discovered that she thought the term Britpop referred solely to Oasis and Blur I knew i had a musical education to deliver. It came in the form of two minidiscs - as you can see by the photo, I lovingly entitled them Compilation 1 & Compilation 2. I remember spending a good hour using the multijog dial on my stereo editing the minidiscs so that the artist and song names appeared - it must have been love!"

Indeed! Here's what a Minidisc looked like if you'd like to show the kids:
