Why? 
Haven't you still got yer 'reel to reel' that you used to sit in front of the wireless with on a Sunday afternoon at 18:00 to record Pick Of The Pops with Allan Freeman, microphone in hand? 
We couldn't afford a reel to reel... 
Oh that's SO sad BM.

You actually did miss out on one of lifes greatest pleasures.
Still got some old recordings from the 60's here, and an absolute shed load on cassette.
I listen to them sometimes if I'm fortunate enough to be in a car with a a well proper Anna Log sound system in it.
