1982 and 1988 Sony Walkman

I need to get a Walkman. As I’m going to collect my extensive collection of cassettes from Slough. When I visit in July. I’ll listen to them while doing some easy jogging in my neighbourhood.

I found this ad in the November 1982 issue of Runner’s World. There’s some great stuff in there. More blog posts coming up.

I never had a Sony. But my Aiwa was pretty good. I probably got it in 1987 or 1988. The article below is from June 1988.

I found it in the Shopping Around column of Tri-Athlete (UK). Written by, you’ve guessed it, Chip Rimmer. I was published literally weeks before we witnessed the most famous Walkman in triathlon history.
