 1979 it was released. What was your Walkman song? What do you remember? Did you have a tape or did you have a jam tape? Mine had FM radio, not AM, and cassette. So it was FM radio and cassette is what my first Walkman had. The honest way. I don't know why it didn't have AM back in those days. It should have. I don't know what the deal was. But it had FM and cassette.
