      I got The Beatles 20 Greatest Hits on cassette. We were in Dublin for the day, and I hopped into the car (front seat) and shoved the ‘balance’ all the way to the left hand side reckoning that I’d get ‘more’ sound if it was all on the one side.

      I didn’t know there were words to Yellow Submarine until 1986, the same time I realised Eleanor Rigby wasn’t a-capella.

          true story. Cassette player was in thecar and the radio was the only source of music in the house and that was an old Grundig behemoth from the 60s, that you could *possibly* pick up KGB number stations on, but it was mono. Genuinely didn’t *get* the notion of stereo!

          and y’try tellin’ that t’t’young folk these days…

      A decent tape and a decent deck with the bias set correctly and levels set properly is lost art.
