Pocket
Rockers
The Pocket Rockers format was a small, continuous-loop audio tape format
that contained two songs each. It was targeted primarily to
children.
Here
is a link to a page devoted to the Pocket Rockers format.
Following is a list of the Pocket Rockers tapes that were
released. (Note: I have not seen most of these, and have relied on a
variety of sources in compiling this list. So there is no guarantee
that this is a complete list, or that all of those listed were in fact
released.)
