Making a tape or two returned II

 Hasn't been the best week being off for part of it so Matron's been insistant that I rest and take the pills.

Following on a bit from last week, often there was a promotion often tied into things like Christmas or Summer when it came to buying your tapes as after all, compared to much else we had back then, they were more portable so we could take them to a picnic or a beach and just insert and press play.

Often such promotions would tie in with key albums the companies were prepared to allow them to use to push the sales here such as this top sellers from mid 1986 with discounted stock prices.

You can also see how the art work on the cassette editions moved from a simple squared image on the front to more complex wrap around forms that might carry all the way the way to reverse of the insert know to some as the 'j card' adding to the appeal of the cassette version.
