"Boy, I sure hope someone has digitized the vast majority of Pocket Rockers tapes released by Fisher-Price in the 1990s." said absolutely nobody."Well, I'm glad someone digitized this and put it up on the Internet Archive" say at least a few people, I hope.https://archive.org/details/pocketrockers

@textfiles Sure, Debbie Gibson, Bangles, that's what you'd expect… Boston, Chuck Berry, less so.… wow, these really are 8-Track Quality™.

@textfiles 😳 that is _impressively_ obscure....and now I'm suddenly disappointed that you don't have any digitized SelectaVision discs in the archive....

@textfiles I remember these commercials fondly especially their mangling of creedence Clearwater revival down on the corner

@textfiles The sheer compression, peaking and warble of Tears for Fears is exactly what I’d expect in a small format! https://archive.org/details/pocket-rockers-tears-for-fears-shout-everybody-wants-to-rule-the-world

@textfiles I do not remember these - perhaps I was just this side of being too young - but I'm just trying to imagine the kind of kid that brings their Huey Lewis and The News Pocket Rocker to school, like the World's Youngest Dad.

@textfiles This is phenomenal. I hope somebody also donates the Archive some Hitclips to digitize, as well -- apparently those featured first 60-second and later 2-minute remixes of popular songs that have never been released elsewhere.

@textfiles the Internet Archive is just incredible and there’s an awesome community of supporters.

@trillytrill It has that feeling of being a 1980s thing someone advocated for, for so long, that it took to the 90s to get it really going.
