my mom had it on tape. edit: Actually, fun story - When I first started driving, I used my dad's truck. It was a hardcore base model - standard transmission, and a tape deck. I think he paid extra for the air conditioning, but that was it. Because there was no cd player, I ended up raiding my parent's old tape collection. I got into Vivaldi, Billy Joel, and Dire Straits during this period - it was essentially when music stopped being background noise and started being something i cared intensely about. I played my dad's Dire Straits tape until it was easily a half-step flat and didn't run properly anymore. I still think Sultans of Swing has the best, most tasteful drumming i've ever heard in my life.
