What song do you remember

The first song I ever recorded from the AM radio on my mono cassette recorder was ELP's single From The Beginning from Trilogy, followed by Procol Harum's Conquistador, then Papa Was A Rolling Stone from The Temptations. I remember doing those three vividly (might have the order wrong though) but have no idea what songs I did next.

I may still have this cassette somewhere.

Twas on a deck like this with the microphone recording my transistor AM radio in front of it.

I can't remember any specific song but as a kid I would stay up late at night to record the Dr. Demento Show. Kinda sucked that it came on on a Sunday night so I'd be pretty tired going to school in the morning. I think the show ended around 1 AM for me.

Late 90's megamix motherfuckers!

Oh, and the Mortal Kombat song off the TV.

Don't you judge me.
 
I used to share Grateful Dead concert tapes. Probably did about 100 so maybe 1500 songs. Now all digitized.

Never recorded studio stuff. Cassettes were cheap living at home working part time in HS.
 
Beat Street by Melle Mel. Probably not the 1st song but the 1st I vividly remember. I only managed to get about the last 2 minutes of it.

I so wanted a Nakamichi cassette deck during the late 70s. Had to make do with a Pioneer CT-F9191. However, what I really wanted was a Revox B77 reel-to-reel instead of my Sony.

Put all my summer-job money on stereo hardware and LPs back then. Wasn't much since the minimum salary was $2.50-3.00 per hour.

Edit: I would have settled for this baby too.

Oh yes Revox were nice. (Japanese) Pioneer stuff was very nice. Tandberg and TDK made nice decks too.
The NAK's head gap was unique in that tapes made on the Dragon sounded best on Dragons or the flagship car head unit (TD1200 IIRC).
 
I don't think I ever recorded music off the radio. I used cassettes to make my record collection portable. I did bootleg the Broadway production of Grease :^D I haven't seen those tapes in awhile. I should try to dig them up, and put them on the computer before they disintegrate.
