As I mentioned before in the previous entry, I also received this tape from my brother, who had previously used it when I was younger. That fact is most evident by a brief clip of him singing at the beginning of Side A that I never bothered to record over. He also included ZZ Top's "Legs," which I decided to keep also since I already liked the song. If I recall correctly, that might not have been the only ZZ Top song originally on here, but "Legs" was the only one I recognized.

I actually have two of these tapes, which I both received from my brother who had used them back when he was a teenager in the 80s. This was another step towards going into the world of cassettes that were strictly for recording. These two tapes were a blessing for a kid with hardly any allowance and no job. The only way you can tell the difference between the two is that I replaced the pressure pad on this one with a piece of cardboard, which you can spot if you look closely at the second picture above. It wasn't the only time I had to play MacGyver with my tape collection, but I certainly can't remember having have to do that with this one. It was slightly puzzling to see that little piece of cardboard there when I dug this one up.

On second thought...

So perhaps I was bit presumptive when I said that there would be a post this week. The birthday celebration was prolonged and it looks like I might be going to Lollapalooza this year, something that was not certain even up until today. For those who read my other blog, Hectic But Eclectic, you know that it's a pretty big deal for me to go to this fest and it will take up all of my weekend. In short, there won't be a new post until Tuesday. Thank you for your patience.

New post coming later this week.

Since I'll be celebrating my birthday this Tuesday, this week's post will be delayed slightly, but only by a day or two hopefully. Stay tuned.
