It looks like one of these tapes. I bought my Aiwa cassette player, back in 1985 with a Krups Coffee Grinder from Adray's at the same time.

The song was called Donut City. It was never released on one of his Albums.

Here's what one poster on youtube said:
The poster could be wrong though. I think Donut City has a backwards solo. Maybe when it's flipped it sounds like the Silence Earthling part...?
Here's what one poster on youtube said:
This is not "Donut City".
This song was actually used in the film "The Wild Life" in 1984 a year before BTTF came out.
It was used in the scene when "Tommy" Chris Penn falls off his girlfriends roof.
Eddie scored the whole film and this is just one cue.

Great score Mike :thumbsup.
That piece of track was not titled Donut City, but was indeed featured in the movie The Wild Life. I had linked to that scene last year in this thread, but it has been pulled off from YouTube since then.

Was the video I posted not right? Did I post the wrong one?

It was the wrong video and the song was not called donut city.

Donut City is another song also released on the soundtrack for The Wild Life.
You posted the correct one. There was no video footage in that, but the audio in that video is indeed the same correct one which was taken from the original video posted by Mike and myself (last year). It's just that the track is not called Donut City.

Ok, I wondered if I posted the wrong video. If anyone doesn't know you can save that song from a YouTube video using www.keepvid.com . My Aiwa is the HS-....crap I don't remember now. It's the same blue lettered face but I don't have a belt clip for it and it doesn't work.

Few years back on the above BTTF.com thread I had listed all the different Aiwa models which are closer to Marty's walkman (Scroll down to July 19, 2008). The text formatting on that forum is all messed now though.
It's Aiwa HS-P07.

I don't know how you do that but yes that's it. You truly are the human equivalent of a BTTF computer.

Hey guys I just got my Aiwa in hand and it is FLAWLESS :eek.The guy really didn't say how great of condition it was in,I really was like WOW.This is gonna go great on display.Here's a bunch of pics I took.Literally a few tiny scratches that's all.I'm really amazed how this can be in that great of condition for being over 25 years old.I know you guys are wondering if it works and the answer is partially.The lights go on and the unit powers up but there is no spin coming from the rotater mechanisms which would make the tape spin and play.I'm thinking it's just the belt that needs to be replaced but we shall see.If it never works I'm still ok with that due to the condition being pristine.Who listens to walkmans anyway but it would be nice to have it work also.
Anyway on to the pics :love
