Watch out, Virgin/Tower/HMV! This little shop in Sumoto proudly boasts CDs, LDs, and cassette tapes! Reminds me of an NTT mobile store in the Kyushu countryside that had a sign advertising “mobile phones, car phones, and shoulder phones“.

8 track tapes?
Do you know that they used to *thump* when they changed tracks?
I think I remember that from my uncle’s car. One of my prized possessions is a “Best of Bread” compilation on 8 track that a drunk Kiwi gave me for playing a song he requested at a gig I DJed a few years ago. When I asked where the hell he got it, he said he had found bought it in Mexico and carried it around in his backpack for a few years.
