1:32:24 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

I got my own tape recorder for my tenth birthday in 1977. I recorded a set of tapes, labeled them T-1, T-2, etc. This is T-5.

At the very end of the tape, I give the date, Monday, November 20, 1978. But back then, I would dub over parts of the tape later for various reasons. For example, the “Sneak Previews” I taped off TV is from 1982.

I released a short edited version of this tape in Bluffcosm many years ago, as “T5”.
