Lest we forget that's also the year CDs were introduced.

Tapes were still mainstream for another 15 years after that though. I remember buying tapes as a teen because they were £5 cheaper than CD’s in ‘Our Price Records’. I haven’t bought a CD in years now but they are still surprisingly popular which surprised me.

Our Price! That takes me back.

I'm still buying CD's and just received one in the mail yesterday. (My parcel, @AngerDanger , also made some unusual stops along the way. )

I’m guessing that photo went right over the head of many of the MR readership!

I not only recognize the photo, I read the book (multiple times)! And I was finishing college in '82.
