41:20 – 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.

A mysterious tape in my collection, this one has a variety of stuff on, recorded in the 80s. There are some long stretches where you can hear vague sounds in the distance. Also, some interesting bits taped off radio and TV.

Notes: cat meowing, vague sounds, Crazy Eddie commercial, kids talking, The Chocolate War, vague sounds, whistling, vague sounds, “hey Frank I fixed the videotape recorder”, WPST radio, vague sounds, more radio, TV, The Brady Bunch, vague sounds. Some music edited out.
