When I was around 13-14 in the mid 80's, we lived in a sprawling trailer park that had a few empty lots in it, that we kids gathered in on the weekends and listened to our boom-boxes.
Mostly we listened to the radio, or mixed tapes from the radio, but occasionally we bought some cassettes.
My first ever album was "Business As Usual" by Men At Work. (loved "Who Can It Be Now") Followed closely by "Kilroy Was Here" by Styx.
We listened mostly to rock/soft rock, and a little country, then started getting into rap a bit.
Anyway, I don't remember the brand of boom-box I had, but I do remember being envious of my brother's. He had a dual cassette one that you could record from one tape to the other. Heady stuff back then.
