I think mine was in the '50's when the quality of tape recorders was improving all the time and I bought a Philips 3542 which was the ultimate domestic machine for sound quality. It was also the era of the Jason FM tuner and the combination enabled me to make a high quality recording of Pick of the Pops with David Jacobs every Saturday night.

As I was 'courting' at the time I got my dad to switch it all on at 10.00pm, his comment was ' I don't know why you want to record that rubbish'. I wonder what he would think of it now?
