The first 60 seconds is just an amazing audio time capsule.

 

"They give your dreams a helping hand,

  at K-Mart stores they understand!"

 

I'm old enough to remember when K-Mart ruled the discount world.

Nice.

Most of the crap they play in stores today makes me want to find what I need and get out of there ASAP!

Remember the "Tape-Athon" RR tape deck players that the KMarts used-Then years later--a sad sight when I spotted some of those machines in a scrap pile.Could not rescue them.The tape players replaced by piped in music.Yes,that soothing music is so much better than the TRASH played in stores today.

About 6 months ago someone posted a huge stash of Kmart tapes- one being some of the most calming Christmas songs I've ever heard. Few days latter they got taken down for Copy Right. Why someone would make a complaint I have no idea but it made me incredibly angry.
