C30, C60, C90 - No.
You kids might think you invented illegal downloads, but way back in the 1970s we had our own version. Every Thursday evening, the yoof of Britain would be poised in front of the TV as Top Of The Pops aired, with their trusty cassette recorders armed and ready to catch all their favourite pop songs. OK, so you tended to miss the start of the song, and your mum could be heard calling you in for tea in the background, but it was FREE!

I was one of those kids with my microphone shoved up against the TV speaker. Then one day I had a brainwave. This was going to change the world! Fame and fortune were mine! A few minutes work with a stanley knife, some sellotape, a spare TV cable and the wire from a broken microphone, and I'd done it. I now had a cable with an aerial connector on one end, and a cassette jack on the other. I could now connect the aerial on the roof directly into the microphone socket on my cassette recorder, and Bingo! I'd invented the VCR.

Amazingly, it didn't work, though it was some years before I understood why...

I'm glad someone got the reference

Weird to think that some people actually paid for C30/C60/C90 Go - a song about illegal taping...

Still fancy Anabella Lwin, especially on THAT cover picture

My mate saw them play at Malcolm's tribute gig the other year.
Fucking awesome apparently.

Yeah - I went to see Adam Ant, and she was one of the warm up acts (I think with different band).
Ace.

Adam Ant was fucking terrible - embarassingly terrible. Panto punk - he was a Rizla away from Benny Hill.

Speak for yourself.
My brother did that. For me it was all about Spectrum 48k games on C15's on a two tape deck. Torrents sort of ruin the fun.
