MEMORY TAPES: 11TH NOVEMBER 2011

This week's Memory Tape is the story of passing on knowledge to the next generation. The story belongs to Adam, who writes....

"Mix tapes were a huge part of my life and something that will never be the same for the MP3 generation. This mix tape was given to me by my next door neighbour when I was about 12 years old to broaden my musical horizons as I thought music was just Culture Club and Duran Duran at the time. I will always be thankful he took the time.

"About 20 years later I did a similar tape (Well CD) to try and educate a friend of mine who thought music was all Euro pop nonsense."

Indeed. So here's the tape that was made for Adam...
