Yup. I've got the mixed tapes (and albums recorded off the radio or vinyl onto audio tapes) from high school and college, so 1981 through 1987 or so. I think I've got you beat on the dating myself, with the vinyl reference :). Those old tapes are great memories for me, and we still have lots of audio tape players, including one in the car from 2002, so my kids have had the opportunity to listen to that ole 50s mixed tape made by my dear college friend. Some of the tapes are from exes, however lots of them were made by friends or myself. Memory lane is a good place to visit.
