^ Pos'd for the purple tape.

My own rotation consisted of classic Westwood sets, 90s rap albums, lots of my own mixes and tapes off Freeze FM and pre-merged Choice.

Most frequent memories:

- Painstakingly-compiling mixes on a two-deck stereo.

- Digging out my dad's vinyls to record old school soul tunes

- Getting hold of a classic tape and immediately making an extra/master copy to reproduce all future copies from. It's wasn't about battering a tape until it was hissed and fuzzy and trying to make the next copy off the degenerated version.

I also remember getting a discman years later and being pissed at how it skipped when you rode your bike over bumps. Never seemed like progress.

[Queen Bee]

Ahhh i remember those days, i used to take mine into school

I used to rotate CrazySexyCool, DoggyStyle, and a couple of tapes i made myself by recording my cds, i remember getting Big Tymers Hood Rich album and taping it and listening to it till the tape went funny

Also i had a bunch of happy hardcore tapes, unfortunately my daughter got hold of them a few months ago and this is what they look like now:

I've spent emotional hours trying to undo that mess, finally accepted that its not gonna happen but i still can't bring myself to throw them away, ive searched everywhere for replacements but with no success

[Guest Malcolm Tucker]
