couldn't resist.

Why not?

Despite being roughly double the age of the likely intended target audience of this song, I heard it and despite it being a "teeny bopper" song, I have to concede that it's actually a pretty damn good recording.

It's got a good beat, good vocals and a very respectable guitar track. And here it is shown in a way it's not likely to have been seen before: recorded and played back on [to some] obsolete magnetic tape and a reel to reel machine.

Although the original song was almost certainly a 100% digital recording, it's been converted to analog here.

Digital may be great for compression and convenience, but for the lost art of listening to the QUALITY of music on a big home stereo audio system, analog is certainly the only way to go.

And here it is. If you don't already have one, anyone who sees this really should try and invest in a reel to reel deck.

They aren't cheap. But the sound is simply awesome. Not to mention that they look oh-so-ever uber cool.

Model deck shown is a Teac X-2000R. Tape used is RMGI-EMTEC LPR-35. And the takeup reel is a classic Maxell "double M". Thanks for looking
