This belongs in the V&A museum, as an essential piece of 80s culture. Thank you for preserving it.

I had this tape as a boy and went to the Piccadilly Radio reception in the Piccadilly tower to pick it up. I must have played it over and over, as I remember every line, and even now still laugh at it. Thanks for posting

When I heard this 35 years ago Little Frank’s story made me cry with laughter. Happy to find it still has the same effect.

Had this years back! Franks the man!

What an absolutely FANTASTIC bunch of fantastic tales. Well except when Little Frank tried, that was a load of bobbins! Cardboard can't do comedy! BUT...what a rip off...I was waiting to hear those tips on looking after your cassete tapes!

I have the official cd release and the quality is really poor compared to this, low volume with a loud hiss and even cuts off Little Frank’s bit at the end! I was planning on digging out my old original tape and trying for a transfer - thank you very much for saving me the time. It would never have come out as crisp as your version.
