WHFS 102.3 XIV Mark March 1 and March 3 1983 From DaveB

Holy crap! It looks like this tape was run over by a truck and then an attempt to straighten it out with vice grips. You can't really tell from the scans, but the cassette is so badly warped I feared there was no chance to get this bad boy ripped. The fix luckily was rather easy. I removed the top two screws and that gave the mechanism enough room for the reels to turn inside. We did lose the last couple of minutes of side 2 however. But hey, still managed to get 85 minutes of great Mark and some Milo for your listening pleasure. Thanks again Dave!

    Ok -- I know I am loosing it... :) or as it was stated on Monty Python --- "My brain hurts!"

    I just realized that the island music I heard was on the earlier tape, and not the warped cartridge... all the same... still great tunes and great to listen to.

    Thanks again CB.

    Has anyone else noticed that as you listen to tapes you made long ago -- you can anticipate the next song? So many of these have Echo and the Bunneymen, Comsat Angels, Roxy Music, and others that mix/match the playsets... one advantage to having and ever expanding set of tunes is that it is harder to anticipate and it is much closer to having the old 102.3right here in...

    (if only...).
