Dad’s Deep Space Ticket

Back in the early days tape trading was done by slow mail. Exchanging lists and Grateful Dead concert’s on Maxel XL Chrome 90 minutes cassette deck tapes.

But Internet was born and the library of the world opened up. Still trading tapes but contacts and info via the quick (CompuServe) news-groups.

Here’s a list from back of these good ol’ days. Compiled by Gary Ross and published in a Relix magazine years ago. A star (*) means i had the concert on tape. I still have a box with tapes in custom made covers somewhere on the attack…
