Why did the Pioneer CT-F600 Stereo Cassette Deck refuse to record "Just Blue" by the group Space?

Three facts about "Just Blue":

1. The Pioneer CT-F600 Stereo Cassette Deck, made in Japan in 1979, was a simple device. It was designed especially to fit the Pioneer systems X-77 and X-55; all you needed was to connect, play, or record the music. Of course, it had Dolby noise reduction, an electronically controlled DC motor, a full autostop, a 3-types tape selector, and a timer that could be connected as an option. However, the main advantage of this cassette deck was the very beautiful fluorescence blue color display. Just blue.



2. "Just Blue" is a lovely album by the group Space (Didier Marouani). "Just Blue" was produced in 1978 in the genres of Spacesynth, disco, and synthpop. This disc was the last before the collapse of the group's album with the participation of Didier Marouani. A year later, in 1979, due to disagreements about a concert near the Eiffel Tower, he left the group together with the legendary Madeline Bell.

3. Why did the Pioneer CT-F600 Stereo Cassette Deck refuse to record "Just Blue" by the group Space? Because it was designed for simplicity and beautiful blue fluorescence, and not for a disco drama and disagreements near the Eiffel Tower!

 

Of course, it was a joke!
