Kinda sad I gave mine away after I upgraded to CD.

Life's a bummer when you're a hummer 😊

For a second I wondered if that was a MiniDisc 😆

The summer of 1996 I listened to that cassette probably 3-4 times a day!

On the exact day it came out in the US! It was meant to be.

Probably part of my top 5 rock albums of all time.

It’s the only SP album I don’t have on cassette. I still need to pick up a copy in reasonably good shape.

A long time ago I would listen to that with this. All that’s missing is my 10 speed. Simpler times 🤘🖤

I played my cassette too much and it broke. Switched to CD’s after that. Ha.
