Books on tape

Can anyone point me to where I can find information on the (marketing) history of books on tape? I’m working on a story set in about 1986, and I want to make a reference to them in the tale; I seem to recall seeing such products back then, but I want to be sure my memory is correct (I hate anachronisms).

Thanks in advance to any who help.

Books on Tape has been around since 1975.
