Audio Demo Tape that Came with New Amiga?

[LordGudruf]

Hi Folks,

I remember when my friend got his new Amiga way back, not sure if it was a 500 or not. Anyway, he got a cool audio cassette with it that had a really great song on it to demo the audio on the Amiga. I haven't heard it for years and I'm getting nostalgic about it, anyone know where I could listen to it again?

Thanks,

Nick, Ireland

That sounds really cool, but AFAIK, NO Amiga's sold in the States came with a demo audio tape. That sounds like some real proactive marketing. The computer for the creative mind wasn't marketed all that creatively here  ;-)  
Reminds me of that Sharp campaign: From Sharp minds come dull products.  lol

In the mean time, there are plenty of mods and digitised Amiga tracks out there to enjoy on your Amiga...

Thank you Save2600. That's interesting. I definetly remember the Amiga branding on this tape and the music kicked so much arse!

Well folks I hope I have this all correct and have not confused things through the passage of time. It was at least 15 years ago.

The tape definetly had "Commodore" writen on it. Maybe it could have been the 64 but there was great excitement that he had got the new 500 at the time. It was me putting it together that the cassette came for the new 500 he got and not the 64 he already had....

i got mp3 of it, 4mb in size free to you if you want it.  the song is pretty cheesy. ;-)

Thanks Nishtek but that's not the one. I came across that one too, "Only Amiga can.....", it is cheesy indeed!

The one I am looking for is all digital, synths and whatnot.

It's getting more and more elusive!

It could be on the B-side of a cassette called Toolbox.  It came with my C64 I think, and told you how to set up the hardware etc.  At the end, the guy says something like "Why don`t you check out the Amiga range from Commodore, amazing graphics, wonderful sound etc etc... You can hear some music made on the Amiga on the other side of this tape"

It was a good tune IIRC. Think I still have the tape somewhere...

Hmmm....

I think that's the one good Sir!! It's all coming back to me now! Any chance of having a listen off it?

Thank you!
