Re: Who Remembers?
I heard something about this the other day. Always surprised me that they didn't at least equal vinyl for sales back in the day. The beauty being that they were very portable and you could record on them. I can't imagine them coming back to the point of rivaling the modern equivalent though, MP3, but time will tell.

If Woolworths were selling these for 6p, it's no wonder they never made any money!

Yes that seems a tad expensive....Why has it got a handle? You wouldn't want to carry that too farAndrew 2.8i wrote:Retro seems to be fashionable these days. Not to mention expensive!
