Who Taped the Charts????

[solatude]

Whatever happened to listenng to the charts on a Sunday night?, Listening to Bruno Brookes running down the charts. It was always a pain stopping the tape deck at the right time to cut out his voice on the end of a song. Did anyone else do this??? or am i the only sado.........

No, i believe i did that once. The charts used to be great but now...just not the same.

A sign of us getting old or the fact we have timeless taste in music!! maybe a bit of both

I also remember taping the Star Wars radio serialisation off the radio as it was before video tapes and there was no way the film would have been on the telly. Films also seemed to take forever to come out on video when they finally materialised but it was nice to have seen nearly all the films in the local video shops, no chance of that nowadays!

One of the local video shops here has the best name ever - "Planet of the Tapes" - how good is that?

I used to listen to the 'top 5' on a Tuesday lunch time (thats when the new chart used to be out) to hear what position one's I liked were. The on a Sunday I would tape them I liked from the postion I heard on Tuesday. Totally illegal but everyone did it.

ok it wasnt the charts , but my mate used to tape the music from the professionals and the dukes of hazard on a tape recorder whilst knelt in front of the telly and then used to play the music in his addidas bag on the way to junior school every day.

Ditto, used to come home from school at lunchtime and listen to the charts. Also used to record on a Sunday nights, "ssshh I'm taping" was a regular expression in my household

Sometimes we even used to take a radio out with us on a Sunday evening to listen to charts whilst we hung around the street corners.

Yes, I used to tape my favourite songs off the charts on a Sunday night. Used to have to make sure nobody flicked the light switch in the middle of recording coz of the interference.
