1986 - LOST HITS MIXTAPE (Re-Recorded FLAC EX)

Hello and Welcome Back... Re-Recorded / Mastered for the Original Master Tape and Available in FLAC EXpanded Frequency Format... Soundz Lush

Ah, 1986.. I was 16 years old and in year 10 in high school.. Yay... Right?

Actually, No..

I remember the last day of High School, walking home early with my best friend Rebecca (next door neighbor) singing "No more school, No more Books, No more Teachers Dirty Looks" (Alice Cooper Song) and when i we got home, i went for a swim in my neighbours pool, ahh, life was great...

A few days later it dawned on me.. Shit, I have to get a job.

And so started my working career. I got my first job at Venture. It was kinda like a K-Mart only more clothes but they did have a toy section... And guess who was in charge of the toy department?...

Me. :)

I remember i did a huge stack (like a pyramid) of Teddy Ruxpin's, took me almost 2 hours to create, Looked bloody wonderful... Was my boss impressed?.. Well, if he was, he didn't say.
Sadly it didn't last long.

You See.. I was at lunch when i heard a commotion.
A child had gone missing!!
The mother was frantic, all hysterical, shouting & crying.. poor thing.
My boss was flustered, getting worried by the minute... Salivating at the mouth

Me, i was more worried about my Teddy Ruxpin Pyramid which had seem to have lost shape... Some bloody kid had knocked it over,
I stood there looking at my creation gone wrong when suddenly, the Teddy Ruxpin pyramid (or what was left of it) started to move...
Turns out, the missing child also liked my pyramid and decided to hide in the middle part, only problem was, when he bumped a few on the inside, some outside ones fell and blocked the entrance.

The kid didn't seen fazed and was enjoying breaking apart my pyramid but i decided to take him to the front desk and he was reunited with his relieved mum.

That was the end of my pyramid building days.
When my boss found out that my Teddy Ruxpin Pyramid was to blame... well... there was alot of finger pointing and shouting and, well...Teddy Ruxpin was confined to the shelves.

A Teddy Ruxpin for those who have never seen one...

Moving On

This Mixtape was mostly recorded on my sisters boom-box.
She had a boom-box, i had a walkman but when she wasn't home, i would sneak in her room and record from the radio waiting for the bloody DJ to shut up and play music...
It was a real skill to get the full song with no talking DJ on the start or finish of the song.
