Akai SX90 Audio Cassette

I can’t, unfortunately, give much information about the period of manufacture for this Akai SX 90 audio tape. I’m guessing it’s not any earlier than 1987, and it can’t be any later than 1999, because that’s the year the cassette was given to me. Sorry I can’t be more specific.

Huey Lewis and The News – Fore (1986) Audio Cassette

Huey Lewis and the News were a band whose records I never would have envisaged myself buying. I practically used to vomit in the early ‘eighties when someone even mentioned middle of the road melodic rock, and in general I wouldn’t even accept products with a golf connection if I was being paid endurance money. But by the middle of the decade, the airwaves were flooded with the tones of Huey Lewis & the News. Song after song, I’d be thinking: “Oh, that’s pretty good”, and when I heard Hip To Be Square, I nearly bought the single. I probably would have done too, had I not found out that it was on this album – Fore! And once the fullness the album’s content became apparent to me, I couldn’t resist it.
