Here we go, the first ever adventure into home taping! In this series I delve into the mystery that is home recorded tapes – who knows what they may contain!
This tape appears to be a potential gift to someone called Nicola for their birthday, or maybe this is a tape that Nicola made for her own party? Either way the tape is filled with various music tracks that have been recorded from the radio – as the recording features plenty of ‘clipped’ dialogue and shaky FM reception!
