ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS! 🛒 Back in the 80s & 90s, a former Kmart employee saved a private collection of original in-store background music cassettes from being lost to history. Take a nostalgic stroll through the aisles at https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppers

@internetarchive if we behaved ourselves at the store, my brothers and I would get Icees and split a hoagie.

@internetarchive I saved a few of the discs from my time at Sam Goody before they closed up shop in our mall(circa 2008-2010?) and I'm sure one day the collection will be necessary. I do believe that's the first time I heard Adelle and Sia. Timbaland was also on heavy rotation.

@internetarchive Wow. I downloaded the two from 1973 and 1974. The music is hilarious. I remember this in stores way back.

@internetarchive I just went off on a tangent and looked into tapes for my father's old reel-to-reel.I got a "new old stock" (never-been-used) original blank tape reel for $11 (US)Unbelievable. I was expecting these to cost over $100 at this point since things from that era are super popular nowadays.Now I can record all the Muzak I can find on there and pretend we're back in the 1970s. LOL!BTW my house was built in 1972, kinda like the Brady house.4:20 time!

@desertstar84 @internetarchive it would be really cool if there was a huge zip file, or several zip files you could get this stuff from. Talk about bringing back memories.
