Yes yes yes!!! But only with C60s.

I was a regular taper from to top 40 countdown every Sunday. I'd watch TOTP on a Thursday, note all those I wanted to record, then eagerly await the countdown. Then they changed things, and Sunday was the first time you'd hear who was at number one.

As for compilations, I've been working on some 12 inch compilations this week. I'm a sucker for 80s remixes. I think I've come up with 4 hours of totally corking 12 inch magic.

Can't wait to annoy my eldest son by playing them (he hates my choice of music).
