It's funny how my musical past is framed primarily in the rear view mirror of my old mix tapes.
The very nature of mixing means that one invariably plays tracks at different tempos (for beat matching) and will not play the whole thing.
So, hearing certain tracks 30 years later, in full and at their original speeds, when I've only known them through their reflection in that mirror, is quite weird.
@colinwalker have you considered sharing your mixtapes online? I've slowly been releasing my old radio shows on Mixcloud. Here's a link to a dub show I did ago ago for you to enjoy.
A number of them got a bit glitchy when a hard drive got corrupted a number of years ago so never really thought about it.
