I vividly recall splashing out for some fancy chrone tapes so that I could
tape a friend's copy of Petty's "Pack Up The Plantation," live record from
c. 85-86. I think Lloyd Cole's "Easy Pieces" LP was on the second side. I
also recall thinking that the chrome tapes sounded miles above the regular
bias Sony cassettes I'd been buying until then. But it was a rare expense.
