Oh, you know, we didn't have any choice back then, my high school years 85-89. Those tape recorders were merely the only choice to re-record all forbidden Western music.

The most funny part in regards to music when The Wall fell down, were the myriad of "covers" of Western tracks with Bulgarian lyrics. Check this one out for instance, the music was 1:1 to the original song until few years ago they must have realized this is just plagiarism and slightly changed the musical arrangement :)))) Those two jokes almost ran over me with their car after a concert so I don't hold any warm feelings for them, hehe :) I suspect a huge part of "their" songs are copy-pasted, lmao
