That sounds like fun.

I heard them talk about that on one of the Taxi TV shows. And they said if you have some old songs lying around that were actually produced in the 60's, 70's, 80's, that have good production with all those authentic sounds from back then - the chances of a placement are great because you already have that real retro sound instead of having to emulate it. There's probably some folks on here that have some of those sitting in the closet.
