But after all these years of trying to play that damn turntable in my car


I never understood why people bought cassettes back in the day unless they didn't have a turntable. I saw it as wasting money when I could buy the vinyl (which lasts forever) and make a cassette myself. biggrin

Well the good thing is after i got into prince and found out he put unreleased stuff on the B sides i always bought his 45's and 12 inchs. the bad thing is just about everything else i bought tape(including most of the albums) so by the time i really got an interest in vinyl, it was on the way out. Luckily i've been able to pick up most things anyway

The main reason to get the tapes is the generally sounded better than if you taped them from vinyl(not always) So you had the tapes for the car and the boom box and the record player for around the house. hell I still plasy my vinyl , but rarely ever play a tape

I have them all and still give them a spin every now and then. Prince made the best remixes of all time.

I crack up everytime I hear some clown like Puffy say that he "invented" the remix. Please.....

falloff During the disco era and on throughout the 1980s, artists made 12 Inches and remixed thier own songs. Suckers like P Shitty, Puff the Magic Dragon, or whatever the hell he's calling himself these days, have to remix someone else's old song.

Well, I have all of the 12" on wax. Bought them when they were first released. I even ran a thread on the 12" version of Little Red Corvette awhile back. I gave the whole scenerio of where I bought it, how I felt when it came out, the whole 9.

I got them all on wax when they were released also. I never got "Little Red Corvette" because I couldn't find it back then. I looked everywhere in my city. It made me wonder if it was a promo item only. I finally got it on a funny looking 3 inch CD that I had to order in the 1990s.

I never knew "Sexy Dancer" was a 12 Inch until I got the internet. They just didn't play it in my area for some reason. I downloaded it in 1999 and recorded it on a tape. When I finally got a CD burner, I burned the tape onto CD. "Sexy Dancer" is one that I wish they would release on CD because it's the only 12 Inch version I have that sounds "bootlegged".

i have all of the ones on the CD but to have them remasteted in one cd and not a MP3 that was converted to a wav and burnt on to a CD is better?
