Spinning

The first rule of Tape Club is....

Another one from the vaults (ie kitchen cupboard full of old crap) today, actually the oldest mix tape that I have in my possession from my days of faffing around with records, taping stuff off John Peel and then having to dabble in the black arts of the tape-to-tape-world. Two tape decks in them days, I was a real pro in the world of the D90. Brand loyalty in them days, TDK all the way, until you found some cheap multipack in Dixons and it all went out the window. I always used to ask for blank tapes for Christmas from my folks. Practical and not too pricey, I think the term 'stocking-filler' is what I'm looking for here ;-)

Anyway, with no more further ado here's todays instalment.

Spinning Dreams And Angel Wings
