I can remember listening to a commercial "dancehall" compilation CD in the early 1990s which seemed to consist of a handful of (recent) 12" singles being played consecutively, complete with surface noise, wow and so on. |
I have a tape compilation of songs from 1986-7 that came free with a Rubik's Magic.
It's possible to hear the needle drop and crackling before some of the tracks, which didn't impress my Dad!
Of all the pre-recorded tapes in my collection, it's the only that has lost any noticeable sound quality. Fortunately I have most of the tracks on CD.
