In the
early 70’s a person could purchase 4 track and 8 track tapes and cassette tapes
were just beginning to make their appearance, (cassettes were going to
revolutionize the music industry)….. but the main source of music was still
albums. At Christmas time in 1972, JC Penny was running specials on top “hit”
albums for only $3.57. Artists like Mac Davis, John Denver, Cher and The
Partridge Family….. Christmas albums were only $1.99 …. (Perry Como, Al Hirt,
Elvis and more). To play those albums one could purchase stereo systems as low
as $28.00 for a portable record player to $170.00 to a console stereo complete
with an AM/FM radio….
