Mooning, and the popular variant the "pressed ham".
I was in a band in the early 1980s that one of the other members and I had written many songs and we wanted to record demos of them. We got a Fostex 4 track machine that cost about $1,500 and we took a loan out in my name because the other members could not get a loan. I still have some of the cassette tapes of those recordings we did in our rehearsal space. The sad part is that we were slated to go to a studio and record an album and release a few singles but we fired a girl who was in the band and never finished the album. I wish we would have. People really liked our songs. The first single was going to be a song that I wrote the music and one of the other guys wrote the lyrics.
Hey hey! That was my first multi-track recorder as well, and I still have it!
Nice. I'm not familiar with that one. The team that did Thunderbirds created 3 other shows that didn't make it to the colonies. One was about underwater subss or such. The other was

Some of my gear from the mid-'80s, though most of it dated well before that. The cab was a fender "pyramid", the Univox head was a 60 water. At the time the local music shop had an actual pile of assorted tube heads priced at $1/watt. The bass is a 1985 Yamaha BB300 that I

I still have the steam engine (only).
I had one. I started out bouncing tracks with an Akai 2-track sound on sound deck. Went to a Teac 2340, then a Teac 3440, then an 8 track ADAT, then finally to a computer DAW.
