Having recalled and mentioned my purchase of a Bang and Olufsen potable radio in my previous post, I went out to the shed this afternoon to search for it in a moment of nostalgic reverie - wanting to take a photograph for another posting - only to have my second recall of the day regarding this early hi-fi exploration: I've recently thrown it away. Urged to transcend a lifetime of innate and spiritual male hoarding, I kowtowed to the pressure and went to tidy up a previous shed where in a moment of enforced and emasculating feng shui I chucked out the B&O and no doubt other soon-to-be-remembered and rued treasured remnants from my past, this gem having been bought on hire purchase in the early 70s.
As Lidl's Western Gold is to Woodford Reserve, I am having to settle for an image of the Beolit 600 found on the Internet rather than an actual photograph of the one I personally owned. From hi-fi to lo-fi, so to speak.
I did, however, find my Amstrad stereo amplifier, bought in the late 70s, which had the amazing bass boost button/switch that made the walls wail when you pressed it on at full volume. Perhaps when I recover from today's Bang and Olufsen bereavement I'll retrieve that other still salvaged and secured remnant from the lineage of my music playing paraphernalia and photograph it for celebration.
You must!
