So, I toddled off down to the car boot sale today looking for goodies and found nothing of interest other than a pile of old magazines. Amongst them were about 40 early 80's issues of "Smash Hits". They are rich with adverts for audio products... and some interesting articles. I got the lot for £2. Thought I’d start by posting this.

Ha ha these are great....cheesy...but great!

Funny that the JVC tv box is almost as much as an M90

Thanks for sharing these mate

seb968 - 2013-10-06 10:45

Yep; solid cheese, but thats Smash Hits!!

£259 for the VZ 2500 and £339 for the M90, that a lot of 80s pocket money! Just shows what must have gone into designing and manufacturing theses machines that we all treasure back then!

 

BTW, how hot were Bannanarama?!!

seb968 - 2013-10-06 11:07

How funny, it was only today I was talking to the wife about smash hits and how sometimes the center spread had two of your favourite bands on each side and you had the tough decision of witch side to put up on your wall lol
Nice find

There were clearly more of the 'detachable walkman' type machines around than i thought.

Whenever I have time at lunchtime, I try to read an issue, I've started from the very beginning.

Quite the trip down memory lane...
