HAHA.... oh the joy of the Walkman. If you never had a Walkman, you have never lived.

I git this when I was 9 (I think).... back in 1982

That second grey box to the right was an extra battery pack... it took 2x D-cell batteries. The idea was that if the batteries within the Walkman ran out, you had this extra battery pack to power your Walkman... and just neatly clips onto your belt next to your walkman... Can you imagine carrying all that gear around just to listen to just 90 minutes or less of music???

Pink Floyd. The BEST. Dark Side was my 'gateway' also, although that was much later in the misty times of CD's..... I was going to choose a track from this album, but I've already chosen Time for a previous track in the mixtape.

Possibly the best album release of 1973? I'm calling it......

Never knew about the extra battery!
We were so happy to have 90 minutes of music while going for a walk or a run.
How many great moments I enjoyed with Walkmans!
