Musings on the byways of popular culture

I was changing a few things around on my hi fi yesterday and to test it was all working properly I needed a CD to play
I chose Young Americans, title track and I realised I usually pick something from the 70s and invariably it’s this or Golden Years or something off The Kick Inside
What’s your go-to hi fi test song?

Hi chums, my upstairs stereo (3-disc CD drawer, double cassette, radio), bought from the Co-op circa 1905, is getting rather creaky now, and I need something to replace it. These are my demands:
1. Ability to play CDs and if possible cassettes too. My old stereo is now struggling with CDRs, so it either needs to be able to play those with no problems, or failing that maybe an SD slot or USB port would be kinda groovy, then I could could rip and chuck all the CDRs. Not bothered about radio, bluetooth or any kind of streaming capability.
2. Small size. It’ll be sitting on the landing just outside the bathroom, so needs to be fairly compact.
3. Sub £200 price. As sub as possible please.
4. Available via mail order. I live in the sticks.
5. It mustn’t sound shit or fall to pieces.
6. The moon on a stick, please!
Thanks in advance xx

On a wave of nostalgia last night I searched for and found a photo of the radio cassette player I received for Christmas in 1984. I was ten, and was also given a cassette of Shakin’ Stevens’ Greatest Hits, plus a blank one for taping the charts. What was your first music-playing device? And what other ones were in your family home? Photo if you can find one.
