What year did the The Walkman come out in?

Between which years were cassette's most popular in the UK?

Walkman - 77 or 78

Cassettes most popular mid 80s? say 83-88, or maybe into the early 90s.

The above 2 are total stabs in the dark.

I know the answer to the third one. Aladdin Sane by David Bowie.

Walkman - 1982
Cassettes - 1974-88
First cassette bought - I honestly don't remember, I think I started buying cassettes instead of vinyl around 1984 so probably something by Genesis, maybe 'Foxtrot'.
