Looking for a sample from those old childrens tapes that you would read a book along to, the kind of thing where you would put the tape in, press play, it would have a voice and tell you that "when you hear -this- sound *the sound plays*, Turn the cassette over to side b" type of thing. (quotation marks pretty much denote exactly the sample I am after, if anyone gets what i mean, or even remembers these things??)

Also another one I am looking for is the old "test tone" or whatever it is that old tapes used to have, You would put on a audio cassette and it used to have that "bo boo booo booooop" kind of thing

I do hope this is a "good request" as I have never posted on here before, but thought someone might with a lot of luck be able to help me out here.

I am looking to use these for a live performance as a sort of intro to the show. Will ofcourse have links to the live material [video and audio] all in good time, but it is amazingly hard to try and find anything of any real relevance nowdays with the sheer amount of "information" on the internet haha!

Sad thing is too, about ten years ago I had both the tapes with the aforementioned, but I guess growing up, they got lost/given away or something somewhere! So, itd be really nice to find both again if anyone can help me out!

Shall keep checking, and keep up the good work everyone
