In the 1980s I used to collect cassettes from New Musical Express. They have issued a whole lot of cassettes I think, but in the 80s they had a numbered series, and my collection is numbers 1-37.

Oh no! I was searching for this kind of stuff this morning, but then again, I wouldn't have bragged about my collection, if I had found it :-)
Thanks!
Cheers! I've been trying to remember the name of Checkmate one for ages to try and recreate it.
anyone know of a copy of NME 020 Feet Start Dancin´ - my copy has become unplayable and it was such a great compilation

I have an electronic copy.
I used to collect these cassettes also. My favourite was the "Pocket Jukebox" tape, which I wore out. At one point I replaced the casing and that gave it a few more years of life.
Eventually, I decided to track down every song on CD so I could make my own CDR compliation, which is harder than it sounds as some of the songs are very rare. The only place to find the Julia Lee and T-Bone Walker songs was on 5 and 6 CD box sets! Somebody burned me the T-Bone cut, but I had to shell out $120 to get the Julia Lee box.
The track list is here:

There's lots on my blog too in case you want to refer people there.
