Weirdly, I never did that ‘record-from-TV’ thing, even though I’m the right age to have done so (the “cassette age”).

You are exposed as no real fan then 😉

I did so too. Fortunately, I had a least a way to hookup my radio cassette recorder to the TV, so that I would record the TV sound only, and not via microphone picking up should anyone in the family talk.

Originally I started indeed with a microphone but a thten later better TV had a connection gladly. I however did this primarily for TV themes but rarely for films or even complete ones as for as I remember. I later did that later in the 90s with some silent movie scores of VHS I rented from the library (some Carl Davis scores specially).
