This is literally the 80s version of holding up your phone to record a video of a music concert.
The difference is in Poland in the 80s it was hard and expensive to buy music so it might be the only option for them to get it.
Yeah, and you can tell just by the look on his face that this is serious business. He's just got to hope nothing going wrong while it's recording. I'd be so nervous about something breaking in the machine!
Or some guy walking up to him "HEY BUDDY, GOT A CIGERETTE I COULD BORROW???" "DAMMIT ASSHOLE!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!"
The condenser mic and magnetic media probably produced a better recording than a cell phone mic/digital audio.
