Pop fans ‘all a flutter’ as 6music plans ‘day of C90s’

Music fans are braced for a trip down memory lane on New Year’s Day, as 6music announced it will exclusively play old C90s for 24 hours. The decision was made after nearly 5 working audio cassettes were discovered in a shoebox decorated with Smash Hits stickers, it’s believed one still has the holes on top filled with chewed bits of card, to allow recording.

‘Audiophiles are always banging on about how great tapes were and that,’ announced Jarvis Cocker from his allotment studio. ‘Luckily I’ve still got my old Sanyo tape deck in the loft. We just need to find a cleaning tape now, and a dozen or so of those big fat batteries.’

6music aren’t sure exactly what they’ll be playing as the labels are all curled up. ‘Listeners are in for a treat, we’ve found one that hasn’t stretched that much. Although you’ll have to bear with us in between songs, while we fast-forward Bruno Brookes.’
