How stereo changed our lives.

Radio was the most important invention. After that - the tape.

@inna- for mass consumption, the cassette, which really came into its own what- in the '70s? (I fondly remember the Advent with Dolby).  8 track in cars for a spell, but pretty kludgey. Not sure how much market there was for reel to reel in the home, even when pre-recorded material was marketed. I think the record- both LP and 45 were far more dominant in the average home. 

Yes, cassette, still the tape.

Bill, you are probably right about LPs and 45s, I don’t know. Still, I would guess quite a number of people had reel-to-reel decks.

The greater availability of music has greatly devalued it. It's a sad situation.

Great video. Memory lane. 

The greater availability of music has opened us to whole new worlds of music and enjoyment and devaluing physical disks.
