JVC portable radio and cassette recorder/player

Community radio first went to air in the early 1970s and, by the 1980s, around 50 community radio stations were broadcasting across Australia.

You could listen back on stereo systems like this JVC component system PVC-V55 from 1987. These types of systems integrated radio receivers with cassette recording and playback, making it easy to tape directly off air.

The perfect mixtape was crafted through both luck and skill: hitting record right at the top of a song, and perhaps even taping your own radio presenter-like spoken introductions.
