Publisher's Synopsis
In post-war Britain everybody was a maker; building and fixing radios, cameras, tape recorders, guided by a range of magazines for the home engineering enthusiast. Encouraged by Amateur Tape Recording, Practical Electronics and a network of tape clubs around the country, men, women and families gathered together to make and share their recordings. Based on years of research, interviews and rummaging through boxes of mouldy reel-to-reel tapes and magazines, Tape Leaders is the definitive history of this remarkable lost world of English music.
