Red Box - Lean on Me

I just watched this video from 1985 and suddenly I feel very, very old. Those were the days of cassettes and many nights were spent taping one song after another from the radio.

Yes! Red Box is legendary. I still have my old vinyl album from my 17th or 18th birthday. I believe it is almost impossible to track down on CD or download.

There are quite a few other videos available on YouTube. I took a trip down memory lane with a friend a couple of month back.

And I do realise it shows how old we both are, by the way...

Yeah - we are both old geezers! I believe I have the vinyl somewhere too, and a couple of 12 and 7 inches as well.

That song's been hibernating deep in my memory for the last 20 years, completely undisturbed until now. The kids today would be shocked at what we had to go through to discover new music.

Your site's awesome. My laptop was just stolen and I've been in a deep funk about it, but then I discovered you have half my lost itunes collection posted on your front page. I got kind of overzealous with the downloading -- I'm sorry. Hope I didn't blow out your servers. This really boosted my mood, thanks for the cool posts.
