Welcome to TapeHeads, a fun retrospective series of conversations about 80's music and movies that we love, love to hate, and sometimes love those with which we were previously unfamiliar. We occasionally discuss music theory and recording techniques, as well as popular culture of the time. We love talking about all of it, and we think you'll have fun too. New episodes drop on the 1st and the 15th of every month.
Little River Band wrote many of the best-known songs of the 70's and 80's, yet comparatively few people know anything about the band, or even who they are. Many people (including Todd) confused them with other bands from the time. Blaine leads us through the strange, confusing, and litigious story of the Little River Band.

92: Who's Reporting Record Sales, Anyway?
Surprisingly, there was no official way of counting album sales until 1991. 1991? 1991! The company that was created was called SoundScan, and Blaine leads us through the discussion in this extremely interesting episode.
