I received my first Sony Walkman along with my first cassette tape: Bobby Brown "Don't Be Cruel" album...in 1988...I was 6 years old. I received a newer one in 1990 or 1991 I believe either my 8th or 9th birthday and that was along with the MC Hammer album "Please Hammer Don't Hurt'em" cassette tape. I still have the latter walkman, it's at my mother's house I believe...that is if she hasn't thrown it out. Still have the Bobby Brown tape, tossed the Hammer one when he sold out.

shite, I never got a "Walkman". I had a Walkman wannabe.
you know, {stating to feel indignant} I am starting to feel deprived... I never got a Walkman. I have never even seen a real Walkman in person before. I think my parents should have bought me a dayum Walkman back in the day!
Oh, and now I am really getting pissed since the Walman was release on my 13th birthday. What the hell???!!!! Why couldn't they get me a Walman???

Y'all were some SPOILED crumb snatchers! I never had a freakin Polaroid camera. I had those old Kodak with the 110 film and the flash cube. Man, what the hell???!!!!
They spent all their dayum, money on freakin private schools, they didn't have any left for the IMPORTANT things.

One of my first walkmans didn't have a reverse function. Only play, stop and ffwd. So to rewind you had to flip over the tape and ffwd. Turn it back to the other side and play.

YES! I had one of those!!! It's been DECADES since I even THOUGHT about that camera!!!
Looked something like this, right?;
You had to buy a pack of those flash cubes.
Hey...anyone else had one of those Disc cameras???
I had one. Lent it out to a friend, who lost it.
Somewhere I have one of those discs lying around...

I had no idea they even still made these.
I never had a Sony Walkman. The closest I had was a Toshiba equivalent in the late '80s/early '90s. Equalized properly, that thing had extraordinary sound quality. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Mine still looks like that, but not the same brand and I don't have a reel to reel player. My receiver is from 1979 or 1980, the cassette deck is from the late 1980's & the turntable is from 1991. I made it up to a CD changer from the late 1990's. I never got into anything past that. I've never downloaded and I still buy music from the record stores where I live. They still carry records, but since most modern albums are longer, the newer releases are generally double. The one I usually go to even sells picture discs & vinyl remix 12" singles.

Apparently there's no cover, so how do you keep dust from getting in it? For 150 grand, they should of thought of that.
