After my last boost I thought I'd see if I could find a photo of the Sony Walkman I had in the . No. And that's with Google and Bing with numerous search terms. Considered looking for 80s Argos or Littlewoods catalogues scans but maybe later. What I did discover, though, is that there were a hell of a lot of Walkman designs in that decade.

That then made me think about the I used to have. I did find a photo of that, and it was called the Soto, apparently. Loved that thing.

sharongascoigne,

@neonbubble I never had a Walkman. I had a Dixons or Tandy's own brand one, Saisho I think. It was bright red and I listened incessantly to Paul Young's No Parlez on it. I think it was pretty much the only proper cassette I owned at the time.

I was too distracted with my Duran Duran records.

@sharongascoigne Oh! Yes! That's why I couldn't find it. It was a Saisho! Thank you!

sharongascoigne,

@neonbubble Clearly this is what only the coolest of kids had. Walkman's were so last year!

garry,

@neonbubble Do you remember the model number?
